Travelogue 2001 Crete
The Paradise and Chania

coast with beached wreck in the northwest of Crete
Local people had recommended our next destination, a lonely located paradise in the northwest end of Crete. No paved roads lead there and therefore there aren’t any tourists. One of the last signs of civilisation was this wreck. Someone told me that it’s the Santa Marina.

a deserted dream
Dagmar on an improvised night camp on the beach in Crete
No humans and of course no hotels. A night under the sky next to the fire, without sufficient blankets, without sleeping bag or tent …

port of Chania, Crete
Chania: Our last stop. A nice town but of course the water isn’t clean here.
an open-air-restaurant in Chania, Crete
A restaurant in a ruin without roof. Here we spend our last evening before going back to Heraklion in a scooter tour de force.
