Europe Holiday 2017 - Greece (Part 1)

Hello fellow Steemers!

Recently, I travelled around some of Europe with my partner and her parents. It was my second trip overseas and we really enjoyed ourselves. We set out following a short stay in Athens before travelling to Crete. We stayed in the cities of Chania, Rethymnon and Heraklion whilst in beautiful Crete. I hope these photos might inspire some of you to visit; the Greek economy would certainly be grateful!

Will also get around to post some photos from the other places we visited (including Rome, Barcelona, Paris and London) in a later update.

Happy Steeming!

We really enjoyed the cafes and sun loungers that take residence on almost all of the beautiful Greek beaches we visited

Hidden gem - One of our favourite places we found in Crete (Lake Kournas, near Rethymno)

Some food we had - including a Cretian delicacy (snails) - Not for the faint hearted.. they tasted pretty good!
