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.

Shop signs

Why are there red lanterns on the top of the red shop?
What kind of store is the one on the left hand side of the red shop?
What is being advertised on the green door?

Answers tomorrow - and let's hope no one rampages and burns them down, as they have done all over central Athens.
