Also saw the Monastery at Chrisoskalitissa (at right) and ruins of Falassarna, a letdown after Knossos; excavation has not gone much beyond a few walls.

Came back through Elos and north through mountains back to Chania. Managed to return the car by the evening deadline and caught the bus back to Kato Stalos where I had dinner at my favorite place (Maria's where I've tried everything on the menu) and walked the 95 steps back up to the hotel.
