Our first stop in Crete

A bus ride from the port into town

Bustling with tourists

We walked down to the old port

Found a cafe

Settled down for some people watching

Lots of folks shopping

Buying souvenirs and clothing

We only purchased edible souvenirs

Everybody taking selfies

Strangers stopping and offering to take group photos

Tourists do the same things all over the world

We explored the 14th-century Venetian harbor

Surrounded by narrow streets and waterfront restaurants

At the harbor entrance is a 16th-century lighthouse with Venetian, Egyptian and Ottoman influences

We stopped to take selfies

A stranger offered to take a photo of our group

We wandered back through the narrow streets

Took the bus back to the port

Back onboard our floating hotel

We had survived our first land encounter

We ate all our souvenirs
