Spinalonga

Spinalonga is a small rocky island at the entrance of the gulf of Elounda. Because of its position, in antiquity the islet was walled to protect the ancient city of Olous. The Venetian cartographer Vincenzo Coronelli reports that Spinalonga was not always an island, but was once linked to the adjacent peninsula of Kolokitha. According to Coronelli, in 1526 the Venetians cut down a portion of the peninsula and created the island. 

A Man Fishing

Sunday Morning

A Sunday morning ritual involving a newspaper, cigarettes and of course coffee out in the balcony. What a better way to spent one of the last sunny Sunday mornings of the year.
