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.
Sure. World heritage for sure. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your water. (I miss being near a body of water.)
Happy spring.
It's a long time since I've been to Hania and that's exactly how I remember it. Glad to see it's not changed :-)
ReplyDeleteMaria,

I miss Hania so bad!

I miss Crete so much. It's been ages from the last time i visited the island (nine years ago).
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky we have the Cretan community here and i "take a little taste" of my home land. But it's not the same.
I want to seat there and eat some fish!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet it's a dream to be there at sunset, the breeze coming off the water. It's a beautiful sight. Yes, save it, save it all.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it should be protected and appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAloha!
As long as they don't wreck the atmosphere with a marina.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria! TGIF and a holiday here!!
ReplyDeleteThe Venetian port is a beautiful spot in Hania and your picture is much nicer than my lousy ones... ;)
Lovely place!

ReplyDeleteOf course it should be saved. H Kritiki mboroun!!!
Kalo Mina :)
When I was planning a visit to Crete, deciding where, in the short amount of time I would have, to stay, it was Hania that called me. I loved it even off season.
ReplyDeleteYes it should be preserved...such class and beauty is hard to come by these days.
ReplyDeleteWas Bouboulina having lunch at one of these?
