    Yes Michael, there are lots of pics in the holiday thread I did, what a place, I was like a kid in a sweetie shop, the now owner Andrew is fantastic but I am sure he was trying to get me drunk, we kept drinking Raki lol
    Oh man... i just left a huuuge comment in your Crete thread... Your photos almost made me cry! Reading and watching about the massacres of the so many villages is way too much for me... Thanks for your interest in Crete!

    Ben,

    A very interesting and moving thread and obviously a personal one to yourself so thanks for sharing. I personally have no connection to the MTO as my Grandfather landed on Sword on 6th June '44 but I would like to go to Crete and pay my respects to all the soldiers who fought and paid the ultimate price there.

    It is a cracking place to visit, you have the history, both Ancient and WW2 military and the people are fantastic, nice weather, just overall nice (yes we like it lol)

    Well with it being the Med, and nice weather I'm sure I can work a family holiday into a history related trip, or is that the other way round?!
