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.

Bag shop
I like the one with the elephant design best.
Bags sold at a tourist shop in the old town, Hania.
My biggest fear...I walk into a shop like this and i knock out a tiny little piece of souvenir which -by a domino effect- brings down the whole shop... They are so tightly packed!!!
Do you know that ceramics shop down at the Hania harbour? Near by where the horse carriages park....I did not go in there....Too risky!
Ghea Maria, Do you have some form of e-mail address I can contact you on as I am looking for details of a Bootmaker in Chania and have run out of ways to contact him.

prefer those netted types :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection! I think I prefer the open weave style! They suit the gypsy spirit in me!

i like the blue and beige one. :)
ReplyDeleteI like a lot of them, but I think my favorites are on the top, especially the middle one with the open design. A tempting store!
