The following night we hopped on a midnight ferry to Crete. It was a pretty awful 8 hour journey between the uncomfortable deck seat and sleeping in rotation to make sure our bags didn't get swiped, but hey, it got us there overnight so we didn’t have to pay for another night in a hostel. Crete was a beautiful island, but could have been skipped if you have no interest in Minoan art. Being an art historical nerd, I was thrilled to be able to go to the Herakloin museum to see the Bull Jumping fresco, the Snake Goddess sculpture, and some fantastic Cycladic Plank figures. My poor roommates took one for the team so I could have the opportunity to see this stuff.
We only stayed in Crete for one night, and then headed off on a day ferry (thank goodness) to the vacation island of Santorini!
