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.

Cafe culture
No, I'm not at Starbucks, but Greeks love to copy brands, labels and names. This one is done more stylishly; I picked up the paper coffee mat at Koukouvayia cafe in Akrotiri, Hania. 'Koukouvayia' is the Greek word for 'owl'.
Your kourabiedes looks really good! Iwish I had one or two! I made isli only beacause my family don't like kourabiedes and I eat all by myself.That means more kilos and I don't need them now...
I think it was a mistake for them to use the same font maybe :-D (and a little bit of the color scheme...). But you are right about copying. It is so annoying as well...Like we can't think of anything original...TV series, logos :-(
If it worked for "them" it is not 100% sure it is going to work for anyone else :-D
I bet it tastes better than starbucks
ReplyDeleteHaha, why reinvent the wheel?

ReplyDeleteI think I'll prefer Greek wine to Greek coffee (but then I don't drink coffee anyhow...)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
