June itinerary critique
I am planning a solo 2 week stay in Crete, and have concerns that I might be a bit bored there with my current plan. I have no interest in hikes, and a preference for group tours and activities. No interest in fancy restaurants, definitely prefer casual atmosphere - I am single bagging it and won't have room for "nice" outfits; a couple button up short sleeve shirts and nice shorts with comfortable sneakers for walking. Please poke holes in it, add or remove suggestions as you see fit.
