Aghios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece Holiday Review - A Combination of Old and New
Submitted by: Kira
Date of travel: 14-March-2007
I had a short holiday in Aghias Nikolaos, Crete. It was a delightful town that carried on the appeal of authentic Greece but maintained the feel of a cosmopolitan city at the same time. For big nights and days we went to night clubs, jet skied and tanned on the beaches, played golf on the Greek golf course and toured the city. For low key nights and days went to the aquarium (where we saw species that we strange to us), watched movies in Greek with subtitles, and visited the tavernas for Greek drink and good food. Upon returning home I taught me sister some of the steps from the old time dancing that we learned. I bought her bouzouoki music that we danced too. It was odd going from dancing to bouzouki and then Shakira.
