Sun-observations
The moon, the stars and the planets, the milky way and nebula's everything seems so far away but nothing is what it seems. You will look at the moon and think it is floating in the palm of your hand. The stars that twinkle so bright with so many but still a fraction what you see with the eye. If you look true a telescope you see the wonders of the heavens. Planets and nebula's twined in a umbra's as lovers do. How darker the night, the more wonders and features on the heavens. In many city's you never see this because of light pollution. And people can't remember what it's like to look at a dark the sky filled with stars.
On Crete high up in a village Agios-Stéfanos you can view those wonders of the night sky. Many people are amazed of what they see. Even the sun has no more secrets. We look at the surface of the sun and we study the motion of the sun. All of this with professional guidance.
This in the garden of your host.
For young or old it is still a life experience.
Very important . Make your reservation as soon as possible in the beginning of your holiday .
To make sure that you have the opportunity to look at the stars.
