Thinking of making a last minute booking for a conference in Crete (Hersonissos) in September.

Obviously, I would be going for the science - but any thoughts on the venue?

It's not procrastination. It's "just in time" delivery.

Crete is GREAT!  I love it.  Have been there 6 times for various conferences. 

I love Chania, looks like a postcard.  Heraklion, while interesting for archeological reasons, fails to stimulate my interest beyond that  - it is just a big dirty city.

Try going to the south side of the island, less touristy.  Hike the Samaria Gorge.

Drink the raki, and have fun!  The Cretans are wonderful people.

Could you grow the foot into another patient? I mean, you are a scientist.
