travelers stories about Lagoon in Listis, Greece

Lagoon in Listis, Greece

  43 km from Heraklion


the beach ισ so special because of the beautiful rocks on the beach itself and in the sea. If you swim around the rock to the east you will end up at another small beach. The name Listis comes from a rocky area on the east side where there are several caves: according to the local residents a bandit (Listis) lived in one of the caves

travelers stories about Landmark in Chania, Greece

Landmark in Chania, Greece

  104 km from Heraklion


In the old harbour in Chania on the island of Crete stands a lighthouse. This rustic old building can be seen from any part of the old harbour and is one of the things everyone visiting is bound to remember. I have taken many snapshots of this lighthouse over the years. But this time I wanted to get an image that was more true to how I picture it in my mind when I remember it. The combination of the old historic location, the fiery sunset and the couple next to it fulfils most of the emotions I have associated with this location. I got my image.
