    FYI, you stated Elafonisi has the only sandy beach in Crete but actually in Chania (the very city you're in) the beach is sandy for miles and miles and miles. You guys were staying in Old Town but if you just go 5 mins, 10, mins, 25 mins you have nothing but sandy beaches.

Oh my God it looked so good and I’m sure it tasted even better.What excited me more if I ever go are those sweets you bought because I’m a huge sweets fanatic. Crete is definitely a must go destination. I had read somewhere and seen other vlogs that have said the same thing you stated that it is incredibly affordable. Which is definitely a huge incentive.
