A news summary buzz:
New power station in Crete at Atherinolakos gradually delivers…power pylons in place though many still looking for cables : it’s a strange sight to see pylons undressed, without their cables. The power station will provide some of the power for all of the island, is on the south coast between Xerokambos and Goudouras (the journey between the two places is most scenic and dramatic).
Aparently Greece is one of the most popular destinations for US travellers – glad to hear it (Conde Nast Traveler).
Germanwings will add weekly flights to Heraklion from Germany next year during the “season” starting on 6 March 2006…a great connection for travel to and from Germany and onward (or inward) from other European centers ( see http://www.germanwings.com )

14-16 October showed that wonderful warm sunny weather on the south coast of Crete still abounds. The south coast is a pretty good bet for sunny heart-warming weather in October and on many days throughout the winter. North coast Crete gets more of a winter sampling however (some magic micro-climate areas like Mochlos seem milder than the norm and Sitia is a good mild Christmas stop).
