We woke up to another beautiful day in Greece, at a port in Rhodes.
Before our trip we had prearranged a 4+ mile hike along the sea with a tour company. They picked us up at the dock and drove us several miles away to the start of a trail along the rocky coast.
We had a wonderful guide, and the views of the sea were stunning.
It took several hours, and we enjoyed every minute of it.
We stopped at Limni Beach to swim in the cool, refreshing, clear waters.
The next day we disembarked on the isle of Crete where we went to a local family organic farm where they grow olive trees and grapes. We tasted the wine and had some cheese and bread and tomatoes while watching traditional Greek dancers performed for us. It was delightful.
We also had a chance to dance with the dancers at the end. It was fun.
The last stop on our cruise was Santorini. We opted to stay onboard because the next day we would fly to Santorini for a four-night stay on our own. It was very pleasant to be on the ship with so many passengers disembarked. We had the hot tub to ourselves and a nice relaxing experience.
The cruise went quickly. We had a lovely dinner on board, on our last night.

your hair messy
and your eyes sparkling."
