Have you ever been to Crete?

I did indeed go twice to Crete and I really enjoyed the ruins of Knossos.

I have always been interested in ancient civilizations and the history of the Minoan civilization is just so fascinating. To think that it possibly collapsed following the eruption of the volcano situated in today's island of Santorini where some archaeologist suspect Atlantis is located.

I did a second trip to Crete, unfortunately only lasting 12 hours when I docked in Chania on the Northwestern shores of the island.

I do keep good memories of the trips, mainly the cuisine of the island and its fantastic fish dishes.

Also, allow me to change the topic and place your question in the "Travel & Leisure" topic as it is much better suited than the "Sexuality" one.

No, I haven't but I would love to visit Greece some day. What a beautiful and interesting country.

[SueShe]

When you go, leave your pretzels at home and enjoy the really fantastic local cuisine 🥨 🍻

@SueShe Thank you for the tip! I will indeed leave those home, even though I had a breakthrough with the dipping sauce!

Greece is on the short list for honeymoon. Ranked right up there at the top. I also very much would like to see Venice, even if for a few days. I think we can make both happen. 😊

[SueShe]

Venice is also worth the trip but beware of all those tourists. If you like crowded places, then Venice is indeed on the top of those places just like Santorini would be. If you go to Greece, then Santorini is a must.

If you go by boat, take the cable car to reach the top and not the steps from the harbor because your nice wedding dress will be smeared with unwanted presents from the donkeys taking those tourists up the steps.

@SueShe I will do some research on Santorini. We have just been looking at all the lovely places to visit there thus far. I will add this to my list.

I think if we do Venice, it will only be for a couple of days before/after Greece, just to see. I am fascinated with that city from all the photos I see. I want to see it before much of it is under water as I have heard will happen someday. 😞

I saw in the news last year (?) the flooding that happened.

[SueShe]

Yes, the floods are getting worse but the city council is working since many years on a project called MOSE that will hopefully reduce and contain these flooding.

@SueShe Thank you for the suggestion on Santorini. We have been viewing photos and it is truly stunning. We will look further into this as a possibility.

I haven't, but it is on the bucket list along with a cruise of the Greek Islands.

[KostasKouvalis]

No, and it's not really high on my list of places to see. It's too big

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah a couple times mainly Souda
