Aghios Nikolaos, Crete, July 2009

Views of the town and surrounding area including the port, beaches, harbour, Greek Orthodox Church, as well as views from a road train including Elounda and Spinalonga. This was a port of call whilst on a cruise with Thomson Cruises on board the Thomson Celebration.

@fillajugg No, it was the sister ship, the Celebration.

@stuartmoss thanks mate, was the cruise any good? i am going in a few weeks on the thomson spirit . this vid was great to see what this part of Crete was like, haven't been to this end of Crete before :o)) PJ

@ltcolglennr You are very lucky, it is a lovely place. Does it feel over-run when the cruise ships visit?

[@ltcolglennr]

@stuartmoss We lucked out because it was still a nice secret. We lived in Gouves and always made it a point to visit a different place every weekend. Unfortunately, we left due to base closure. I'm sure you saw the Mickey Mouse ears on the mountain as you were entering Heraklion. I was responsible for maintaining them. My wife and I turned down an assignment to the UK for Crete and have never regretted it.

[@fillajugg]

was the ship the Thomson spirit?

That was not a view of Spinalonga. It's Elounda's Nisi or Kolokitha.
