Voyage to Crete: Gournia/Mochlos
by Eti Bonn-Muller
August 4, 2009
It’s hard to believe, but this is the last full day of my trip. I had hoped to make it even further east, but I’ll have to save that for my next voyage to Crete. This is the night before the full August moon, and as luck (and timing) would have it, I visited the Minoan site of Mochlos this evening. As the sun splashed its last rays into the Aegean, the site glowed for just a moment before becoming engulfed in the dazzling moonlight. Ah, Crete.
Please check back here in the coming weeks. When I return to New York, I’ll be adding even more information about each of the sites listed below, including photos, interviews with the archaeologists, and video footage.

A friendly taxi driver from Agios Nikolaos pulled his cab over to the side of the road so I could take this photo as we passed the Minoan palace of Gournia.
