Crete (Κρήτη)

From June until the end of October I lived and worked in the village of Kokkini Hani (Κοκκίνη Χάνι) a few minutes east of Heraklion (Ηρακλείον), the island's capital, on the northern coast.

I had come by ship from Lesvos to Chania, a beautiful city on the western end of the island, where I spent a couple of days before moving east.

I worked for a water sports business with three stations operated, not exclusively, for hotels in Kato Gouves and Anissaras, as well as the one seen here, in Kokkini.

The photos on this page show what I and my friends would usually get up to in our free time, especially on rare days off, which, in my case, were due to poor weather and/or sea conditions.

Being close to Heraklion was convenient and few days off passed by without the need to go into town to get some things done.

Shantell and Dave joined me on this occasion (Dave's behind the camera).

 

I was always working while the others sometimes hired a jeep to visit other parts of the island.

On this occasion, Pierre had come to bring me and my bike home from work.

Star Beach, in Hersonissos, was my
preffered place of rest on a free day.
On this occasion Dave, Steve, James
and Natalie joined me in the hot
sunshine on the shores of the Lazy River.

 

 

 

 

There's me fooling around on the streets of Heraklion.

And here's Dave being just as silly.
