Crete, Greece |
Halfway Agia triada and Phaistos |
24 April 2017 |
After having found Gious Kámbos with its richniss of orchids, and other places rich in orchids as well, we still had one day left in Kerames, and I thought it were time for a little drip of culture; so we headed toward the ruins of the ancient city Phaistos, the second largest city of Minoan Crete. On the road to Phaistos, we stopped to look for plants. |
