~ Crete, Greece ~

When we got off the plane, we continued our trip by car.

I told Aldus that I don't need to rest, but he insisted that we stop at his villa first.

Compared to our home in Genoa, this one was modest but no less beautiful.

The purely white villa was perched on the cliff with narrow stone steps leading to the sandy beach below and there was a private dock.

Due to its position of facing East, I imagined that sunrise over the Cretan Sea will be breathtaking.

The villa consists of four bedrooms and it features a big panoramic veranda, surrounded on three sides by flourishing gardens, and there was an inviting open swimming pool. I could see myself relaxing there with a fancy cocktail in my hand.

After showing me the villa and my bedroom, Aldus told me that we will continue our trip on foot.
