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.

First swim for the summer

Yesterday was the last school day of school for the year - schools open again in September. We took our first swim at Kalamaki Beach, just 3 kilometres away from our house. Some people spend a fortune on plane tickets, hotels and restaurants to come and sit with their children on this family beach. We have it within very close range. The next 12 weeks will be spent here most days.

You are fortunate and if you use the beach you are fortunate and smart. The kids in the water look perfect and the wave breaking right there where they are is perfect photography.
