Inland Crete – A Quiet Way Into the Inland of Crete

Α quiet way into Inland Crete

A morning shared in the family olive grove.

We meet in the village of Kerasia, a name that means to treat your guest.

From there, we walk to our family olive grove,
with views across the Kerasia plain,
the Lasithi Mountains,
and the historic Paliani Monastery.

We gather around a wooden table beneath the walnut tree,

facing the sea and the island of Dia.

Local food, shared quietly.

Together we complete the grove picnic.

Nothing formal. Nothing rushed.

The morning unfolds slowly.

The Cretan table remains.

Some may wander around.

Some may explore the village at their own pace.

Others do nothing at all.

The land leads. We follow.
