HANIA, CRETE

In September last year we spent a most wonderful week at the gorgeous port of Hania at the western end of Crete. We had superb accomodation right on the ancient Venetian harbour; the weather was glorious; we hired a car and visited the superbly maintained Commonwealth War Graves at Souda Bay, (a most moving experience), as well as viewing ruins from the Minoan civilisation, swimming at beautiful beaches, walking part of the Samaria Gorge, being amazed by Byzantine churches and generally having the most interesting and relaxing holiday.
It is a time I shall never forget.

The memories of that experience all came flooding back to me this morning when I received an e-mail about a creative writing course being held there this June. I can't imagine a better location - visit their website and have a look if this is of interest.
