That raki is disgusting to me – I do not understand the attraction.
You definitely didn’t miss much skipping the east side of Crete. Makes for a more relaxed vacay to just do day trips from a base in the west – plenty of beaches and sites to enjoy (including the young ladies!).
Where to next?

We spent most of our time there on the west end, but also visited Knossos and imbibed of the raki, freely offered. In fact at one little restaurant the owner was walking around after the lunch rush offering it to the remaining customers. As he poured a shot for everyone at a table, he poured one for himself. By the time he got to our table he was beginning to wobble! At Elafonissi Beach, I was distracted by some young ladies and tripped, tearing open my foot on the rock. A Frenchman came to my aide and bandaged my wound (which was oozing blood) like a boy scout with a bandana. Medcines sans Frontieres, bien sur!
