Our last day in Chania was nice. We slept in a bit and then went to the beach for a few hours in the early afternoon. During our time at the beach we went to the restaurant associated with the beach chairs and umbrella we rented, and ordered a lunch of Greek salad, bread and tzatziki and Cuddle Fish. I learned 2 things: 1) Cuddle Fish is closely related to Squid, and 2) Cuddle Fish is horrible, or at least the way we had it was horrible; see the picture above.
Another thing we learned during our time in Crete is that with, basically every meal, they give you a free dessert (general some kind of fruit or light gelatin cake) and Raki, which comes in some kind of tiny bottle like the one above. It is rough, but not unbearable. Mind you, I'm not much of drinker, unless it is fruity and comes with an umbrella, so what do I know?
After this we caught a 5:30 bus back to Heraklion, went back to our favourite restaurant, 50-50, spent the night in a gross motel, beside a chain-smoking-foul-mouthed-door-slamming-50-something-Brit, and caught the early high speed ferry to Santorini.
So ya, that cuddle fish plate looks awful. I applaud you for even tasting it.
