Hello my dear ladies, how did you like Knossos vlog? Great place, great energy and a real cultural heaven. Things have change a lot since my first visit there. Some parts are closed and some are to be seen through glass windows. The ceremonial hall with Minoas’ throne is closed for visits and you can enjoy it only by looking through a glass window. It is the case for the past several years. The maze as well as the Queen’s bathroom is completely closed. They are the witnesses of the time passing by. Because of damages they are closed but they are waiting for a new chance to be seen again. For how long this beauty will be available for us? That’s why I recommend you, if you can, to go there. Trust me, you will not regret it. If you ask yourself when is the best time to visit Crete, the answer is simple- ANY TIME!!! Crete is beautiful during the whole year. In case you are a big fan of the sea you should go there during summer time. Autumn is very special in Crete. Then the island is silent with no summer rush, the local people are relaxing after the long working summer. Winter is a nice period of the year as well, looking at the snow in the Cretan mountains while walking in the streets of Heraklion and enjoying a nice day in case there is no storm at sea. Even I do not know how many times I have visited this wonderful island, I will use this opportunity to thank my dear friends, the Manousakis and Mihalakis families for all the wonderful moments I spent with them in Crete enjoying this beauty.
In case you go to visit Knossos during summer, do not forget that the temperatures are very high. I recommend you to put on something light with sleeves, a light dress for example, kids need to put something on their heads a hat or a cap, don’t forget water and of course something to refresh your face with. Hot weather, sweat and dirt can surprise you with pimples, and we do not need that. In this video you can see how to make some facial water. You can use it all the time, on the beach or in the office when you have make up on (you need a good spray if you do not want your make up to be destroyed). Try, you will be amazed how refreshing this is, even during hot summer days.
RECIPE
Cucumber and the distilled or sterile water leave it at least for one hour or longer. Add some silver water in, 3 droops of lavender essential oil, 1 drop of Frankincense oil and 2 drops of tea tree oil.
Enjoy and see you soon-)))
