In the last three years, I have been coming to Crete yearly and making it a part of my life for 2-3 months a year. The rest of the time I live on a small Thai island that is truly paradise, and I thank my lucky stars daily that I found my way there. Actually, living alone on this island gives me the time to develop my inner side, as there is so much time to explore what I discover online. Then once a year I come out into the world and have an extroverted life... in a small town near Chania that has become rather popular with the British, who have settled all around.

One reason for choosing this town near Chania is that there are Greek music concerts in the restaurants every 3-4 nights, and occasionally a village festival with live Greek music and traditional lamb on the spit in neighboring villages. This must be a throwback to a past life in Greece in more peaceful times than today. The only thing that is not fulfilling with this year's visit is that the hard winter in Greece has extended even until now (written in mid-May), and it is too cold to spend time outdoors much of the time (winds make it worse).

If you happen to be on Crete before July, contact me and let's meet!
