A view of the bridge

bridge fournes hania chania

A pretty winter's view from Fournes village: the stone bridge (an accomplishment of the German during the Nazi occupation of the island of Crete) above the river Keritis.

  1. Hi I found your blog by chance (?) - what a wonderfully evocative document. I found Crete and Hania last Spring when I came to experience Easter in Crete, fell in love with everything about it and I have the good fortune to be coming back this week for 2 months, what an adventure - so I love your photos and what you have to tell us about your experiences living there - yes, I remember the 30 deg temps in April, I thought I would melt too!!Best wishes to you - I will follow your blog with great pleasure while I'm there...Frances

  5. At least they did something else than kill and destroy. I know Crete suffered badly during the war.

    If you want to have a look at a Norwegian bridge I posted today, please visit.
