7/8 (I got the number of prefectures wrong). Nice quiz, and a great island 🙂
Nice score, lucky 7!
Crete is divided in four prefectures, nicely and evenly divided if you look at it on a map
Glad you enjoyed it and delighted that you like our island!
5/8 – just spent 2 wonderful weeks near Chania last month. It’s a beautiful island 🙂
Really? Yes, West Crete is really amazing, has some other kind of more wild beauty!
I hope you have made it to the beaches Balos and Falasairna, they are worth a visit especially if someone is located at the west.
Thank you again for answering and commenting!
Yes, we visited Falasairna for a swim one day but mostly we spent our time exploring the mountains and small villages further inland. So beautiful 🙂
got 6 out of 8 right!
Almost perfect! Well done!
