This thing it has of sending you 20K out of your way just to make a &#8220;safe&#8221; U turn is exhibit 1. Then it tries to take you down some very sketchy roads. Not good. You&#8217;ve got to keep an eye on it.<br>Filion Suites Resort, great hotel, great food, great staff. <br>Crete, lovely place. Terrifying mountain roads. They seem to skimp on the road signs a lot. You know, for very sharp bends ahead. All there ever is, if they deign to put one up, is a Red Triangle with what looks like a limp dangle on a yellow background. That&#8217;s if there&#8217;s anything left after its been shot to pieces by the gun-totting locals.<br>The best costal walks are on the south side but the best hotels are on the north. It is not a small island &#8211; just over half as big as N.I. but long with a narrow waist, which is the bit I picked so that I could cross over relatively easily.<br>I don&#8217;t want to do that again, that driving for hours to and fro. Give me a luggage transfer service and a new hotel every night, every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pic of the hotel so I can remember it on my death bed. Seven in the morning.
