About Crete
It's difficult to recommend the best places to stay on Crete because this largest of the Greek islands has such varied appeals. Archaeology and mythology go up against inviting seas and sandy beaches and the rugged, traditional interior, much loved by walkers contradicts the bright nightlife of the capital, Heraklion.
Some of our Crete Collections:
- 12 of Crete's Best Beach Hotels
- 10 of the Best Luxury Hotels on Crete
- 15 of the Best Spa Hotels on Crete
- 5 of the Best Guesthouses on Crete
- 7 of the Best Self-Catering Apartments and Villas on Crete
- 7 of the Best Hotels on Crete for Walkers
- 15 of the Best Family Hotels on Crete
Crete is a naturally diverse beauty. She's got rugged mountain ranges, slicing gorges and fertile plains. (ideal for those looking to get away from it all, or simply those who want a walking holiday). And those beautiful beaches.
But of course Crete is also great if you just want a cheap, fun, sunny break - the properties listed below start from as little as €55 a night! You'll find a range of little guesthouses and B&Bs, or self catering village style options (which are often perfect for families).
Many of Crete's best beach hotels and some of the best hotels if you're looking for luxury and a spa, can be found in the popular resorts of Agios Nikolaos and Elounda. But if you look carefully you can also discover some hidden gems on the lesser know South Coast, or undeveloped Lasithi in the East of the island.
What not to Miss
- Visitors come just to see the Minoan palace at Knossos - home of the minotaur and his labyrinth. But that's only the start of Crete's list of ancient treasures. Heraklion is closest to Knossos, it's also close to the ancient Minoan villa of Vathypetro and its wine press. And the Historical Museum of Crete and Heraklion Archaeological Museum. Heraklion is also where to come for the nightlife, not just for shopping, bars and dancing, also for enjoying renowned local cuisine. The long waterfront brims with hectic life, and the historic centre hums with busy charm.
- Chania, on Crete's north west coast, is the best place to stay if you want to visit Polyrinia, one of the most fortified towns in ancient Greece. It's also home to a historic market and impressive Archaeological Museum. Chania's harbour is magnificent, and it's easy to see why the Venetians and Turks built their great and beautiful cities here. In addition to the beautiful Old Town, Chania also has a Naval Museum and several other museums. And loads of interesting churches. And an olive press. Perfect for culture vultures!
- Rethymno ticks all the boxes if you're in search of both culture and relaxation: it's full of well preserved Venetian and Ottoman treasures and you'll find a long, sandy beach.
Don't forget that the island is incredibly busy during the peak summer months, so if you want to be sure of a bed in one of the best places to stay in Crete from June to September you'll need to book well ahead.
The Best Places to stay on Crete
For Ancient Treasures
- An historic castle-turned-guesthouse, Casa Vitae's original Ottoman-Venetian architecture makes it one of the best places to stay in Rethymno for anyone wanting to really immerse themselves in the history of the place. As well as sleeping between ancient walls, and in some cases four poster beds, you're also only minutes from the archaeological museum, the fortress and the old Venetian harbour.
- History buffs may appreciate Metohi Kindelis, 3km from the centre of Chania, an antique Venetian farm converted into manor-house-hotel.
- The Mythos Suites, situated in the centre of Rethynno, is a gem for families who want to self cater. Though you may find you don't need to use the small kitchens as much as you thought - the breakfast spread here is amazing. Friendly, clean, light and close to the historic highlights.
For Hikers
- Milia Village is an amazing group of old houses in a remote mountain eyrie. Only 13 rooms with communal kitchen and dining. Book here if you want to experience Crete's hiking culture.

Travel Information

#triggered - using intent in marketing campaigns
Human beings are predictable. The common initial reaction to this is anger and disgust - how dare someone make such a generalization?! Freedom of choice and speech is the essence of civilized society, and there can't possibly be predictability to that.
And to some extent, that rebuttal is right. Humans aren't ENTIRELY predictable, but in a lot of ways, we are. Our demographics, geographic location, and lifestyle choices have an incredible influence on how we behave and interact with the world around us.
The prime example of this is Facebook Advertising. With substantial amounts of data on you, Facebook can sell spaces on your timeline to brands that want you to engage with them. This is already intriguing at a surface level, but where it really gets interesting is with retargeting.
If you visit a brand's website, they can tag you with a pixel that connects to your Facebook account. Then, when setting up their Facebook Ads, they can retarget you on Facebook with messaging having known that you've already been on their site. I'll dive deeper into ads in another post, but the main concept here is identifying intent.
What gets you hooked?
In digital marketing, there are indicators in every facet of a business that demonstrate the intent of a user. I've gone over this a bit in one of my earlier posts, and how each page on a website has a different purpose for the visitor. The pricing page might be geared to getting an email from or demo scheduled with the visitor, whereas the case study page might be designed to educate the visitor on the product.
Just as how a visitor that hits your pricing page has a certain type of intent, your customers/users have different levels of intent depending on their interaction with your product. This is where marketing can really shine - instead of guessing at a vague buyer persona, you can use the data you collect to really dig into what your ideal buyer looks like, and how they progress throughout your funnel.
That was a bit of a jump, so I'll walk through a cheesy example (literally) to make it clearer. Imagine you're running a pizza deals + delivery app, and you're trying to figure out what marketing campaigns to run. The goal is essentially to drive more revenue, but where do you start?
Ask yourself the following questions about your existing users:
- How many days does it take for a user to go from registering for the app to ordering their 1st pizza? What does this order typically include?
- How many days does it take for a user to order a 2nd pizza after their 1st? What do these orders typically include?
- Which users order more than a single pizza? What times are these types of orders most popular?
Starting with those fairly basic questions, we can start to identify the intent of our users BEYOND just buying a pizza / downloading the app. For example, the following conclusions might be able to be drawn:
- 90% of users order their 1st pizza within 2 hours of downloading the app. The average order is (1) medium pizza. Of those users, 40% used a discount code that gets them free delivery.
- Users typically order their 2nd pizza about (2) days after their 1st. Only 15% of users had a 2nd order, but of those users, 60% had used a discount code in the past. The majority of 2nd orders include (1) large pizza and 1lb of wings.
- Users with their credit card attached to the app are 2x more likely to have larger orders. These orders are most popular between 11pm and 2am on Friday and Saturday.
These insights are all incredibly powerful. Each point above indicates a level of intent from the user, and a hypothesis that can be tested by the marketer in a data-driven way.
A/B Testing?!
The gut reaction to hearing the word 'test' in relation to marketing is to suggest an A/B test. Just run two different versions of the campaign, and whichever converts better wins! This is great in theory, but in practice there needs to be more thought put into how the campaigns will work. There should be reasoning behind each test version and a desired outcome + way to track it.
Given that we're already pretty baked into this pizza example, lets run with it to get some ideas for campaigns to test. See below for a breakdown of the campaign name, goal, and details following the number format above.
#1: Free Delivery Campaign
- Purpose: offer free delivery as an in-app push notification while on the checkout page, see if this increases the chance of conversion (completing an order) for users who just signed up.
- A/B test: can free delivery increase the order value? Try only offering free delivery if they add a side to their order.
- Logic: 40% of first users are using a discount code at checkout, meaning that's probably an incentive to download + use the app in the first place, so let's test on everyone else.
#2: Better with Friends
- Methodology: send a push notification with a discount code if user splits with a friend (on the app). See whether this increases order value + conversion in comparison to the core group.
- A/B test: split order with or without discount code - see what effect the code has on orders if the user is already prompted to split.
- Logic: the order size of pizza and wings is fairly large, so we can assume it's for more than one person. If we test to split the cost, we not only can increase order value but also the amount of people on the app.
#3: Late Night Munchies
- Methodology: send a push notification around 10pm to encourage impulse purchases after a night out. Compare campaign conversion rate to typical conversion rate.
- A/B test: messaging could be especially interesting here, whether appealing to club/bar go-ers, or people that stayed in for other reasons.
- Logic: help suppliers by encouraging purchases before the peak 11pm to 2am times. Delivery usually takes 30-45 minutes, so correct messaging can get users their food on time VS ordering last-minute.
It's easy to come up with marketing campaigns based on general assumptions, but it's hard to justify the spend on them or the structure of the test. Looking for user intent through data is the ideal way to setup trigger campaigns that leverage what you already expect your users to do. And while it is a little sad that humans are becoming more and more predictable, at least we will all get discounted pizza!

Your DGB for today is to work with Shannon Coulter and pressure Twitter to boot Alex Jones off their platform. Coulter, originator of the #GrabYourWallet consumer-based activism hashtag, has instructions on how to block every Fortune 500 company with a Twitter presence. While platforms like Youtube and Facebook have already banned chaos agent and all-round terrible human Alex Jones, Twitter has been dragging its feet. Coulter thinks if they feel the pinch financially, they can be persuaded to follow suit.
If you are somehow unfamiliar with Jones and his tinfoil hat jamboree, Infowars, here is a chilling introduction to the fellow: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6968132/alex-jones-infowars-sandy-hook-conspiracy-theories/
This guy does not need an additional outlet for his lunatic and dangerous conspiracy theories. Let Twitter know we mean business about shutting him down.

This past week, I was invited to attend a ministry that will be held in December at the Methodist Church here in Fenton called "Blue Christmas." It was a fantastic idea that was put together by their pastor who recognized that behind all of the festivities, office parties, gift giving, Christmas trees, and Santa costumes…there are so many out there who struggle to find peace, joy, and happiness during this time of the year.
This upcoming season is one of preparation for the coming of the Messiah, who saves us all from those things that plague our fallen world. He comes in the midst of our sadness, and in the midst of our brokenness.
These past few weeks, we have been reading how He confronts mankind in its worst conditions. Last week, we read about how Christ confronted Legion, a man possessed by demons… whose life was shattered. He couldn't keep relationships. He couldn't keep clothes on his body. He was completely dominated by evil, and our Lord came and brought him peace…brought him to his right mind.
This morning, we hear about how our Lord comes from the Gadarenes into Galilee, and is confronted by Jairus, who was a very esteemed ruler and the leader of the synagogue. We learn that he is overcome with sadness, as I'm sure many of us would be, because his 12-year-old daughter is near death. He comes to Christ and begs for His help…begs for his deliverance from this unspeakable pain that his family is going through.
On the path to Jairus's house, our Lord is then confronted by a woman, who for the same amount of time that Jairus's daughter had been alive, has been hemorrhaging blood. This woman had spent all of her resources to try and fix her health problems, and was eventually left in social and financial decimation. Her faith in the healing power of Christ was so powerful, that if she could just touch a tassel of his garment, all of her problems would melt away. And as soon as she touched him, by the Grace of God, the power went out from Christ and into this woman's body…and she stood up healed, and undone.
Our Lord, by his mere presence to this point…in the span of a few days, shows that He is above the world…and has overcome the demons which plague us, and the diseases which ail us.And if that was not enough, Christ continues to Jairus's house and is met by Jairus's friends who say "Send Jesus away…its too late. Your daughter is already dead."
Can you imagine the grief of the father who went to seek help from the Messiah, only to return to the unbelievable agony of losing his young daughter? What does our Lord do in the midst of this grief? He comforts the family, and raises up their daughter…destroying the sting of death.
These three miracles, all happening one after another, are a beautiful picture of what Christ does for us. When we are with Him…and put our trust completely in Him…NOTHING can touch us. There are no demons who can draw near to us and plague our minds. Sickness melts away in his presence…and death is transformed into eternal life.
In this fallen world, however, it is impossible not to interact with the sadness that comes from the demons, sickness, and death. How many terrorist attacks have many had to endure recently? Families in Belgium, Paris, Las Vegas, and now New York, have been driven to the brink of despair, knowing that there will be an empty spot at the dinner table on Christmas Day, that was once filled by a loved one. The thought is enough to bring every one of us to the brink of despair, with no hope or faith in anything in this life.This is exactly why, Dearest Brothers and Sisters in Christ, our vigilance, our focus, and our attendance to our spiritual lives is so important. It is why I will be pushing this parish family to be present at the Christmas Services in a month and a half…despite it being on a Sunday evening and Monday morning.
It is VITAL that we spend our lives, especially now, seeking the presence of Jesus in the world…because we know and believe that His presence changes EVERYTHING.
Demons, death, sickness, natural disasters...all of them become paths to salvation in the presence of Christ. When we learn to live with Him and for Him, we slowly begin to realize how Christ turns all of the evils of the world…into a help for us.
I remember, right around this time last year, I preached about a saying that I had heard was posted on an Orthodox Church website with that crown symbol that simply stated: "Keep calm…and Kyire Eleison" …Keep Calm, and Lord have Mercy. And I bring up this saying again, because it is exactly the attitude that we all must have in the midst of the difficulties that life throws at us.
If it has not already, the turbulence of life will eventually catch up to everyone that is sitting here today. And in the midst of grief, if we have not learned to put our complete trust and life in God, nothing will be clear. But if we train ourselves to keep calm…and say, "Lord have mercy", we will be given the grace to go through life and take whatever comes…because we know that the presence of our Lord has overcome the world.
He did not come to save us from sickness and death…but rather THROUGH sickness and death…and this knowledge will give us the strength to face the trials of life with peace.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, do not wait. We cannot afford to get comfortable and lax in our relationship with Christ and the Church. If you have yet to make a real commitment to a prayer rule…start developing that relationship and understanding of your purpose in life now. If you have been weak in your Church attendance, begin to make the services unnegotiable with the rest of your schedule. If you have not partaken of Holy Confession or the Eucharist…set a time for yourself and make it a priority during this upcoming fasting season.
Embrace the Love, Light, and Peace that our Lord has come to give us right now…and allow it to permeate every fiber of your being…pulling you to the indescribable and never ending joy of His Kingdom…Amen Amen Amen

You are going to want to serve alcohol at your pool hall. For the purposes of this article I define alcohol as liquor, beer, and wine. It is the major income source for your business. Alcohol sales can be 1.5 to 2x table rental sales. Some of my consulting clients have thought of going with "alcohol free" family rooms, but its hard to make the numbers work.
With that said its crucial you understand what is involved with applying for a liquor license. Delays in getting your permit due to a missing form or incomplete application will cost you money in lost sales. At worst, not knowing the process and doing it in correctly could mean your application will be declined. Not good since you will have already signed a lease.
Liquor sales are controlled at the State level. So its imperative you know about the process of getting a liquor license in your state. Knowing the specifics of the licensing programs, eligibility, Alcoholic Beverage Control, or ABC, Law and your State Liquor Authority will give you good head start before you sign a lease.
The rest of this article will focus on getting a license in New York State.
When it comes to the actual licenses to sell alcohol in New York State there are two basic categories – wholesale and retail.
A wholesale license means you are legally authorized to manufacture, warehouse and distribute alcoholic beverages to the retailers, who are then legally able to buy alcohol at wholesale and re-sell the products for consumption on or off their premises, depending on their class of license.
So, for example, the manufacturer is the label on the bottle, the wholesaler is the distribution channel and the retailers are the bars, restaurants, public vendors, liquor stores and convenience stores who sell to consumers.
New York State Liquor License Qualifications
Qualifying for a liquor license in this state is pretty straight forward.
The basic requirements are being 21 years of age and a US citizen with no criminal convictions. A felony DWI, certain misdemeanors and out-of-state convictions can all disqualify you.
If you meet the basic requirements, you can obtain an application by calling the New York Liquor Authority offices or by downloading the form from the NYS Liquor Authority website here.
Mail your completed application to the NYSLA. Once the liquor authority office receives your application they work very hard to process it as quickly as possible.
The three central offices are located in New York City, Buffalo and Albany. Each office handles a specific region and can handle hundreds of applications and questions per day; roughly 70,000 applications per year are investigated.
Considering the amount of applications which are processed, it is a good idea to know the specifics of the law.
For example, a business which sells liquor and alcoholic beverages must be located 200 feet from schools and religious buildings.
Once your application is submitted the fees are non-refundable and are due upon receipt of the application by your region's office, making it even more important to be completely sure you qualify for the licenses and permits prior to applying.
Applying for a Temporary Liquor Permit
Now that you know roughly how to get a liquor license in New York you should also know that there are certain instances when you may be able to obtain a temporary permit for the sale of alcohol.
• The premises must have been open and operating with an active license at least 30 days prior to filing the application for the permit.
• The permit and fee must be filed simultaneously with the Retail License Application (fees are listed on the application).
If the premises are located in a city with a population of UNDER one million the following conditions must be satisfied in order to qualify for a Temporary Retail Permit:
• The permit and fee must be filed simultaneously with the Retail License Application (fees are listed on the application).
All applicants should contact the Authority to find out if there are any disqualifications against the location prior to filing. Once the application for the Temporary Retail Permit is filed, the Authority will review the licensing history of the location and all principals as well as fingerprint results for each principal and determine if a temporary application could be approved.
Please note that the fee for the Temporary Retail Permit is NON REFUNDABLE.
A retailer whom already owns a current license can apply for a catering permit which allows them to sell alcohol at their licensed events off-premises. An alcohol caterer can then sell their services to a non-license holder to provide alcohol sales for their events.
Retailers who obtain a temporary beer and wine license must purchase their products from a certified liquor wholesaler; purchasing these products for re-sale from another retailer is illegal.
Some Quick Points Regarding Wholesaler Liquor Licenses
Wholesalers pay annually for their respective license. A wholesaler may obtain a license for the manufacture and sale of beer, wine, or wine and liquor together. Any alcoholic beverages manufactured in New York State must be brand labeled and certified for authenticity.
Wholesale manufacturers of liquor and wine must also provide price schedules for their products by law.
The New York State Liquor authority provides access to free information for all retail and wholesale license holders. The resources include information on compliance with the laws associated with your license.
Should I Hire a Liquor License Attorney?
Despite the application process being fairly easy and straight forward, the specifics of the laws and the proper use of your license can be confusing at first. If you are concerned with any part of the liquor license application process do not hesitate to contact us through this website.
The New York State Liquor Authority Homepage is a good place to start and consulting a law professional can help you to understand the specifics of the ABC laws and various permit and license types.
Many offer free consultations or seminars and since they understand the laws associated with the application process, they can generally help expedite the entire process.
Of course, hiring a Liquor Licensing Attorney is the more expensive route to take initially, but it can help you get your license quicker and it can help you avoid making a mistake on the application that could force unwanted, costly delays.

Man sues strip search
A second officer, who is not identified, arrived on the scene and watched as Acol strip-searched Sergeant, the lawsuit says.

Washington model could be adopted in Ontario for paralegals
With access to justice an ongoing concern in Ontario, the province could learn from Washington State's new option that offers family law legal support for those unable to afford the services of a lawyer, says Toronto paralegal Marian Lippa.
It's the first state in the United States to offer the services of Limited License Legal Technicians, who are trained and licensed to assist people going through divorce, child custody and other family law matters in Washington.
"Their independant role as an advocate is the equivalent to our role as paralegal in Ontario," Lippa tells AdvocateDaily.com.
Lippa, who is a bencher for the Law Society of Upper Canada, says Ontario could use Washington as a model to expand the practice scope of paralegals, whose current duties include handling provincial act matters in court, to include some aspects of family law with adequate education and training from law schools.
"This is an access to justice issue," she says. "If we we're permitted to do a certain scope within family law, I believe it would eliminate a large percentage of the unrepresented parties that currently plague the courts and waste valuable court time because they are unprepared, which frustrates the justices and often prevents the matter from moving along efficiently."
Washington State has found a way to provide help to those who need it most and Ontario could do the same where paralegals can also attend certain family law court hearings, she says.
Other countries have done the same, Lippa says, pointing to the United Kingdom's family law paralegal designation.
"Let's get onboard Ontario — we've got a serious problem here," she says.
The Washington State Bar Association describes Limited License Legal Technicians (LLLTs) as the nurse practitioners of the legal world, "making legal services more accessible to people who can't afford an attorney.
"While they cannot represent clients in court, LLLTs are able to consult and advise, complete and file necessary court documents, help with court scheduling and support a client in navigating the often confusing maze of the legal system," says the association's website.
Lippa frequently receives calls from people wanting assistance with their family law matters but she is unable to help them because only lawyers are licensed to do such work in Ontario. She says many who can't afford a lawyer don't qualify for legal aid and are left with no choice but to represent themselves — often without the knowledge they need to handle their matter.
She is among those who would like to see that change. Her experience with this issue derives from her years of volunteer work with a fathers' rights group.
Lippa notes that while paralegal fees range from $75 to $150 an hour, lawyers' fees generally start at $350.
She is advocating for paralegals to be licensed to help family law clients fill out their paperwork, do the legal research for them, review the other side's materials, to assist clients with the interpretation of the files "so that they can represent themselves in court with a stronger position" and in some simpler matters, attend in court.
Lippa says if the province permitted a second-tier license for paralegals in the area of family law with the proper training from law schools as was done in Washington State through the American Bar Association, "there would be no question of the credentials of those paralegals."
