SkyWatch Friday: the clear blue summer sky of Hania



And here's what the other side of the bay looks like - the old military barracks in yesterday's post (which has also been featured the day before in a 1960s photo) on the other side of the cove, on a sunny day early in the morning before the tourists hit the beach. This side of the beach is called Hrisi Akti (Χρυσή Ακτή) - Golden Sand.

(The supermarket is only up the road from here, which explains how I came to be in the area at eight in the morning.)

    I definitely prefer it this way, without the tourists. Looks lovely.
