Monday morning and the same old weather, sunny and very hot. Luckily it was a short walk to Syntagma metro but as we tried to buy our tickets the machine swallowed our €50 note. after much discussion with the station master he finally explained that he did not have the authority to open the cash box in the ticket machine and would have to wait for a technician to arrive. Given that our train was due to leave in 5 minutes we agreed to leave our details with the information office and collect (hopefully) our €50 note on our return in a week or so - we shall see.
We arrived at the airport in good time and whilst the queue for bag drop was long it moved quickly and we were soon through security and aboard to Aegean Airways flight (Aegean have apparently been the european regional airline of the year for 4 years running).
Landed on time at Heraklion and after the usual hassle of collecting the hire car (I do hate the lack of transparency in car hire contacts), we sped off in our Toyota Auris towards our destination of Damnoni of the south coast of Crete.
The Hapimag site at Damnoni is delightful and we wasted no time in unpacking and heading for the beautiful beach and clear blue sea - bliss.
One of the delights of Damnoni is that there are 3 traditional tavernas just 50 meters from the Hapimag site, right next to one another and overlooking the beach. All 3 are excellent and offer tremendous value with meals at about €25 including wine and a "free" desert and liqueur.
