Iraklion, Crete

Last stop on our cruise, Iraklion. This was the only stop that we choose to do a shore excursion through the boat. We did a Pottery and Vineyard tour. It was nice for our last stop to not have to worry or figure out what we wanted to do. And by doing this excursion, we got to go a little bit outside the town and see the beautiful rolling hills. Every inch of the hills are filled with olive trees and grape vines!!!.
When we got to the Pottery, we got to look around the owners workshop and we also got to watch him at work. He made two pots and boy does he make them fast! It was pretty amazing watching a blob of clay turn into a piece of art. Then from there they drove us to a winery where we watched an informational video and then got to taste some wines! And of course, being the clumsy girl that I am, I ended up spilling some red wine on myself!!!! Bummer!!!! Can't take me anywhere, haha. Once we were done there, we headed back to the boat. We didn't have a long time to spend on the island so the excursion was perfect- they got us back to the boat right on time! And now .... A day at sea to get us back to Venice!
