This website is to help you explore the area around Makrigialos in the Eastern end of the island of Crete (Kriti). The text is authored by Sue and Bob Carpemter who emigrated to the island and the region in 2006 away from the less sunny 'island' of Portland in the UK.

We bought a house 'in need of renovation' and spent a year making it as we wanted. We are very happy here in the sunhsine, which is most of the year.
