Explore the cooler side of Crete

It is an article, published in the local newspaper "Anatoli", written by Thanasis Giapitzakis and it is referred to the authentic article of the English newspaper "Daily Telegraph" by Louise Roddon, concerning about Lassithi and its beautiful spots.

It invites their readers to enjoy the beaches, the Byzantine churches and the calm breeze of Spring.

..."Why should you go?", rhetorically asks Louise Roddon.

"Because, while the most of the western part of Crete is troublesomely wet, the light wind in the Eastern Crete, is functioning as a natural air-condition system. Perhaps, this northeastern wind becomes stronger in July or in August, though it makes it easier to spend your day on the beach."

Numerating  the quiet  places, the top hills with the windmills, the contrasts in the landscape which their variety can liven up all kinds of interests, she points out that Lassithi is rich in byzantine chapels and archaeological sites, which are comparably free from the crowds of visitors.

Afterwards, she refers some interesting places all around Lassithi, where she's got a special love. She ends the article, saying that Crete in the eastern part has got the narrowest land and for that, it is very convenient, for someone to explore the less popular places, such as Makrigialos. She also suggests to take a walk on the canyon of Kapsas.
