Squeeze me tight!

After a very interesting vist to the Monastery of Arkadi which lies on a low plateau, 23 kilometres from the town of Rethymno we visited Chania where I had a cuddle with this friendly Boa!

Chania is one of the oldest cities in Crete, with a rich and tumultuous history. Today it is the second most populated city on the island, a city which has preserved its traditional architecture and most of its monuments from Venetian and Turkish times. The Venetian harbour with its lighthouse and the old town in the centre have bestowed on Chania the reputation of the most picturesque city in Crete, welcoming thousands of visitors each year.
