Website updates of year 2004

Chania and Polytechnio Covered by Snow. According to various Cretens, something like this happens once a time during 10 - 30 years.

We have been to Carneval at Rethymno. It was one of the most remarkable events I visited in Crete and is hard to describe its beauty and atmosphere.

We have been to some nice places about 50 kms west from Chania City

Some photos from the harbor and the old city of Chania

Some photos from our small weekend travelling

We have been to some nice places about 20 km east from Chania

This gallery consists of pictures that were taken during my everyday way to school.

During the extended weekend trip to the South-West Crete, we had met with our West-EU friends :-) at beautiful Elafonisi beaches. Next, we travelled to Kantanos, Sougia and Paleochora. Also, we enjoyed excellent panoramas of the west side of the Lefka Ori mountains from road connecting Chania and Sougia. We also explored mountains near Omalos and entrance to the Samaria Gorge.

During The Easter Trip, we have explored the Frangocastello, Preveli beach, Festos, Gortis, Lasithi Plateau, Spinalonga Island, Kourna Lake and more. We joined the celebration of Jesus Resurrection in Agios Nikolaos town.

Together with my supervisor prof. Gekas, members of his working team Argyrou and Anna, local Erasmus coordinator Dimitra Havre and other nice people from Polytechnio we joined The Opening Ceremony of Park for The Preservation of Flora & Fauna in Polytechnio Campus

We have passed through the famous Samaria gorge. We have spent some time on the Agia Roumeli beach. Then we taked a boat sailing through Loutro to Sfakia.

Mostly various pictures from Spring Chania and afternoon trip to Akrotiri peninsula

During 6 days of this magnificent trip, we visited many nice places on Crete island including Amari Plateau, Kali Limenes, Matala, Festos, Agia Triada, Amiras, Arvi, Tertsa, Ierapetra, Sitia, Vai, Itanos, Xerokambos, Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, Spinalonga Peninsula, Malia, Knossos, Nikolas Kazantzakis museum, Arkadi Monastery, Platanes, Rethymno, Kournas Lake, Kalives, Stavros, Gouvernetou monastery and Therisso.

I came from Omalos and went through the Agia Irini gorge down to the Sougia. From Sougia I took boat to Paleochora and then another boat to Gavdos, when I spent 2 days.

From Omalos (which is my favorite starting point for trips to Lefka-Ori mountains), I passed through magnificent mountains to Therisso.

During my short stay in Athens i tried to see all the most remarkable sightseens and turistic atractions in there

This album contains photos from my trip on Rhodos Island, to which I were sailing by Blue Star Ferries ships. You will find photos from Rhodos Palace Hotel, where I was on ASM2004 conference, the Rhodos City and most remarkable places on the Rhodos Island

Pictures taken from The Greek National Archaeological Museum in Athens belongs without doubt to one of the most significant and remarkable museums in the world.

The Sfakia region is very beautiful. You can find there Imbros Gorge, Chora Sfakion, Glyka Nera Beach, Loutro and Phoenix, Aradane Gorge, Anopolis, Agios Pavlos beach, Agia Roumeli. Best way to get to Anapolis from Chora Sfakion is hitchhiking. Going up and down on a shepherds truck was one of the most beautiful moments for me in Crete.

We tried to climb up to Psiloritis peak, but instead of that we only managed to walk up only some nearby summits because of lack of time

A foot trip from Ibmros to Asfendou and Plateau near Kares and Petres, second day - transfer on shepherds truck to Alikambos, then by foot to Kournas Lake

Photos from two one day foot trips to see beautiful Lefka Ori Mountains - from Vamos to Georgioupoli and from Therisso to Meskla

My biggest and last trip to West Lefka Ori Mountains. I came to Kalergi hut with beautiful views of Samaria Gorge from birds eye perspective, climbed up Mavri and Gingolos summits and then by foot following E4 path to Koustogerako and to Sougia.

During this foot trip from Sougia to Paleochora and Elafonisos I saw ancient Lysos and beautiful nature. I also explored Elafonisos lagoon, which is much more larger then I expected and found it together with Balos the most beautiful beach in Crete, even it was very overcrowded, because many people like to enjoy its beauty, soft sand and colorful, warm see.

On my last 3 days foot trip on Crete, I came by bus to Falassarna, then by foot to beautiful Balos beach and to Kasteli

Some remaning photos from Chania and some nearby places - Platanias, Agia Marina and Almirida

Mostly photos from plane on my way home from Chania to Athens, Budapest and Prague

It was the 4th time (and probably last time) I was there (again as a participant of student conference), but the first time I had my camera with me

Together with my colleagues and friends, which were going there to conference, I spent 3 days there
