Heraklion is less pictaresque, but it's got a lot of amazing stuff. And access to Knossos
delatour
Rethymno is pretty cool too
beachcryptid
hgggggn /pushes it further up the "places I want to go" list

don't encourage me, or i might end up on a speech. "excuse me, do you have time to hear the good news of why greece is wonderful?"

beachcryptid

delatour
oh, idk, really. i was a classics major? so i really love greece.

getting to study in athens was a fast education in history and culture and tolerating graffiti and bus lines and basic navigation and also adulthood

i got lost a lot and had an on-site archaeology class. not a good combination.
delatour
directional sense of a concussed squirrel, i don't know how the professor took me seriously
beachcryptid
XD
delatour
but athens is - it's not pretty city, not like rome. or palermo.
delatour
actually, modern sparta is probably a little more relaxing, just because its small and nice and people mostly follow driving instructions
delatour
but it was fascinating. the bones of the city were so old, and the rest of the city so- new?
beachcryptid
nodnod sounds like jerusalem a bit
delatour
Not new. Cheap and thrown up quickly after WW2, as the country changed. But it felt raw, and real. And I loved it.
beachcryptid
delatour
Crete's a lot... not necessarily dirty, but older? a little less with the times?
delatour
It's just layers- Minoan and Mycenean and Roman and Venetian and Ottoman, it just sucks everything in
delatour
It's terribly rustic, and terribly beautiful.

this is a place up at the National Park about half an hours drive from me. They have a short hike that goes through this wetland (which is a fun story in itself. 50 years ago it was a junkyard and 50 years before that it was part of the canal system)
Lel
and yes, thats a Great Blue Heron in the center
Lel
theres a nesting ground near the marsh, which is also a fun place to go
