One day in Hania...

The old minaret adjacent to St Nikolaos church is a perfect reminder of the way the East met the West in the town I made my home, Chania, Crete, Greece. The photographs I post all help to tell a part of a longer story that focuses on the town and its citizens, whether they are living there now, or have made their home in other parts of the world. As a newer resident, by writing about the town in this way, I am trying to put some order into the chaos that I seem to be confronted with.

The classics

The INKA supermarket chain is one of the good quality cheap supermarkets in our town. This branch is located next to an architecturally unique apartment block near the area of the court buildings (Dikastiria). It was obviously designed by a lover of Classical Art and comes complete with naked statue.

Once again, I love your blog. It almost makes me want to visit again this summer despite the wretched ferry ride from Kalamata to Kastelli.

We don’t have ANY naked statues around here in Tasmania. What a bummer. It must be the cold!
