Please let us know what excursions we should plan for this year. Usually the excursions should take about half a day, so that we can do them in the afternoon and maybe still meet for dinner.

e.g.

  • Pirate Bay Hike
  • Stavros Mountain Hike
  • "Secret" Beach
  • Marathi Beach
  • Evening boat cruise
  • Elafonisi
  • Bike ride to Gramvousa

etc.

Best is if you put your name next to the excursion so that we know how much interest there is in the excursion.

Day 3

To reduce calories and give us more time for fun, we will order 200 kalitsounia pies (wild spinach and/or mizythra cheese) to take as snacks on our outings. Xani is a small family run establishment in the center of the old city of Chania. The Cretan dishes are IMHO the best in the city. I have two options available. Either we limit to the number to 40 as this is all they can handle without closing the restaurant for us (max 90 people) or if there is enough interest, I need to speak with them ASAP to have them take the entire group. I'd like to see how many are interested before asking hem to close the restaurant for us. Feel free to drop me an email indicating interset. We'll finalize the list on Monday.
