Back to the Roots - Crete 3 of 4 Posts (click on picture for enlargement)

Olive trees and the village of Kritsa nestled
in front of the towering cliffs

Almond tree



Making Greek pastries by hand


Icons inside an Orthodox Church






Getting ready for a Sunday stroll up the mountain



Cactus plant growing out of the 
side of a neighboring house


Massive, ancient olive tree trunks



Sights along the way





Ancient chapel half way up the mountain





The village of Kritsa clinging to the 
mountainside


Still a bit of snow in the higher mountains


Kritsa from a distance


A couple of local "undesirables"





How about them acorns!


Reaching our goal: the village of Kroustas, 
where we enjoyed a delicious Cretan breakfast 
of omelet, special bread crusts drenched in
olive oil, feta cheese and Greek coffee


Back down the mountain to Kritsa
