Chrysi Island Paradise

I’m in love with Crete and its fascinating history and culture. The people are so welcoming and generous. The food is often simple yet healthy and delicious. And my photographer’s eye has so much to feast on too:-)

If you visit and have time to travel to the south east, take a boat trip from Ierapetra across to the uninhabited Chrissi Island, in the Libyan Sea just south of Crete. You’ll be knocked out by its untouched beauty, rugged lava coast, golden sandy beaches and stunning turquoise waters. This hidden gem is a Mediterranean paradise just waiting to be explored.

Chrysi, Chrissi or Chrisi from Greek Χρυσή

Sunset on the Rocks

On a memorable winter holiday to Tenerife, I took a short trip from Los Gigantes to La Arena to enjoy an amazing sunset over the Atlantic and spent an inspiring hour on the beach with its lava rock formations. The last golden rays of sunlight created breathtaking scenes. In the end I almost had to be dragged away with my cam and tripod as it was getting dark and cold. And it was time for dinner!

Tenerife is a volcanic island and the sand and rocks are often black as a result. This type of lava is Pahoehoe. Canary Islands, Spain.
