Although most Cretans visit the area in the winter for the snow, the village is home to two of Crete's most famous folk singers, Nikos Xilouris and Psaratonis. The former passed away in 1980. Anogeia is also known to have been the headquarters of the Resistance in Crete during the second world war. <br /><br />The entire area is captivating for its natural beauty, the Psiloritis Mountains, geological gems, wildlife and history. So, yes, I would recommend it as a half-day excursion.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting!<br /><br />Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397842596692895726.post-62376852491678258212017-02-07T18:47:26.203+02:002017-02-07T18:47:26.203+02:00Gorgeous photos, Poppy!

To breathe that cold clear mountain air but also feel the warmth of the Cretan sun on your shoulders must be glorious! And I would have been glad to reach that tavern and get out of the car, not just for that salad that makes me want to try to duplicate it but also where my stomach would come down out of my throat after that airplane like ride. Did you leave fingernail indentations in the seats, Poppy?<br /><br />And you know that after I had given my order to the waitress that I would have been over at that wall dresser examining all that pretty crockery and wishing I could buy a stack of those white plates. <br /><br />It would have been another day showing the range of variety in your countryside, mountains to that glorious sea, it's all there, isn't it? Enjoy every day, Poppy dear!
