• Visit Fodele: El Greco's hometown

    ​​This time in Crete, weather starts to fade in spring, less cloudy days and sun gets warmer. On the road from Heraklion to Rethymno there is an almost coastal small village called Fodele in the middle of a green valley with plane trees and orange groves which are full in fruits this period. A tiny river, called Pantomantris, crosses along the village, with restaurants and cafes on it’s banks, where you can taste traditional cuisine and have a coffee by the view of nature. There is also a park next to the main square which offers a perfect picnic site.
