Phaistos Palace, Crete

Just Birnie’s Winter in Crete - we were extremely lucky to have Phaistos all to ourselves. The weather was perfect and it was a lovely afternoon.
The scenery is incredible and all the information around the place is perfect.

Bravo! Great timing to get the place to yourselves. I always feel more in touch with the history without the crowds.

[@JustBirnieAdventures]

Exactly! We hate crowded places and always make sure we get to places really early in the morning. This really was something special without people.

When I was there( years ago) no restorations had been made... Including cafetaria😂

Hallo ,wann bist du mal wieder in Agia Galini?

[@JustBirnieAdventures]

Wir hoffen, Galini fast jede Woche besuchen zu können, da wir 20 Minuten entfernt wohnen. Aber das ist nie geplant! Darf ich fragen, warum Sie das wissen möchten? 🌞🌞🌞

Sorry... So much for a tourist../ mentioning coffe shops... If so, why bother going there!?

[@JustBirnieAdventures]

It’s a changing time and many tourist places offer refreshments if some kind. I would love to have see so many places without the coffee shops etc but now they are there, I mention them so tourists can support and know they can buy refreshments without bringing their own. I know many people who have visited Phaistos Palace before and now go to enjoy a coffee or something being in the wonderful surroundings of the palace and beautiful views 🥰🌞🥰
