We then drove following signs for other sites and we learned that they never show distances to the site, unlike normal town signs, and are not very close to the site. We did find a monastery, but never found the old Roman Aquaduct or the Ancient city mentioned on the signs. We finally gave up and just drove the switchbacks back toward Heracklion. We also went to the museum of Niko Kazantzakh, the author who wrote Zorba The Greek, The Last Temptation of Christ, Christ Recrucified and many other plays and books. He was quite a man being an author and also holding a law degree. While he was a native of Crete, he lived most of his adult life outside of Crete and even outside of Greece. Today was really a Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Hopefully, tomorrow will be easier driving directions. We even got lost trying to get back to our hotel.
