This excursion is a trip back in time, since it carries the sensation and the feel of another era.......

Driving along the North East coast through the gorge of St George , we reach the small fishing village of Elounda, the location of the BBC television series ''who pays the Ferryman''.

This small island carries within the history of Ancient Greece , as it served as a natural guard for the ancient city of Olous. The history of the Saracens as a hide-out for their pirates.
