Living on the island of Crete, you learn many things. One of them is the pleasure to sit outside near the end of the day and watch the sun go down. There is all the enjoyment of the magic of the evening, a sip from your frappe or glass of wine, and the certain knowledge that you live in a place made even more beautiful by the quality of light that surrounds you.

ah that magic view of the lighthouse and the sunset – what memories it evokes. I remember our sunset sail from Chania and the fresh fruit they served on the return journey.
