Entrance to the old town



The only surviving gate, one of four, leading into the old walled town of Hania. This one is found in the area of Topanas (the old Jewish quarter), and remains attached to a part of the original wall on the western side.

  1. ειναι πολύ όμορφα να βρίσκεις σ' ένα τόπο ζωντανή την ιστορία του. αρκει να υπάρχει και ο ανάλογος σεβασμός προς αυτήν

  3. I forgot to tell you that when the green salad is ready I dredge it with coarse-cut furry almonds!

  4. I think we may have passed under this in one of our landau tours - it certainly seems familiar.

  6. I hope they look after this remaining gate, makes a great study.

    It snowed the day I was born on 21st May. That was the way things were then and up until about 30 years ago. Looks as if we are going back to it.

  7. It's quite beautiful. The ancient stuff is compelling to me.
