Trip to Greece video - Boat to Crete

This was my first boat trip in Greece, a night boat to Iraklio from the Piraeus Port in Athens. That night happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon was round, and perhaps rounder than that one in HK, which I didn't really miss at all.

Earlier that day I took a day trip to Cape Sounion, as shown in my last video. And the bus back to Athens that I intended to take had mysteriously made a no-show. Worried to death, I had waited for an hour or two for the next bus back to Athens, for I would have little time left for packing my baggages and getting to Port Piraeus in time to board on the boat to Iraklio, not to mention having a decent dinner. Fortunately, it turned out that the departure time of the boat was later than what's shown in the LP guidebook, which had so often misinformed me that I had discarded it soon after the trip.

Lesson learnt: Do not take a day trip on the day when you have to depart for another city.

Trip to Greece video - Cape Sounion

The second video of my Trip to Greece series is now showing on my YouTube channel. It's an excursion from Athens to Cape Sounion, where I looked for the traces of Byron at the Temple of Poiseidon in vain. The video was too quiet, so I'd added some beautiful Greek music to it.
