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.

Coffee at Koum Kapi
This was a very relaxing way to spend a cold Sunday afternoon: in a cafe, in an inner-city suburb of Chania by the sea...
... with a great view of the eastern bulwark which once formed part of the fortifications of the Venetian town of Hania.
We just got home from a Sunday Morning breakfast at the Skyline Cafe. It has been in business in the same location since 1922. Unfortunately it doesn't have a sea view.
Except for the coffee (I don't drink coffee); I would have joined any day.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty photos. I like the idea of being able to sit and enjoy my coffee with views like this one.
ReplyDeleteI wrote in my Memories blog about the roads of my youth and how they were to travel in the winter time.
