Journey to the Promised Land 2022

The ferry arrives around midnight in Kissamos on Crete. I stay in a hotel next to the port, as well as Dominik, a young cyclist from Germany. We happen to have the same rough goal for our journeys, and so we venture out together on the next day. The plan is to get the Paleochora, take a ferry from there to Hora Sfakion and then cycle on to Sitia, where ferries depart for Rhodes.

The charm of Kas enchants me. There is a marina, lots of old buildings, restaurants and affordable hotels. As well, there's an antique Amphitheater with a splendid view over the bay and Kastelorizo. Young people meet here at sunset. Russians perform a theater play here. Actually, many young Russians are here, hoping to avoid being drawn to the war.
