Enjoying a cappuccino and a good book at Koum Kapi.
The housing settlement on the promontory in the left hand side of the photo is relatively new. The houses in this area, called Koumbeli, are very modern, nearly all of them less than 15 years old. It is considered a rather posh area, mainly due to the middle-class (and above) residents.
It is also the smelliest area in Hania; there are days when the 150 privileged people who live there cannot open their windows due to the retching stink that pervades the air. Koumbeli is located just above the waste management plant where the waste of the whole town is 'cleaned' before being thrown into the sea...
Aloha, island sister

ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up...Have a great Sunday. Cheers
ReplyDeleteSounds a bit strange that a posh area should be a smelly area - I hope you make those cappuccinos strong then!
ReplyDeleteWe have a similar situation. The place is called Port Royal. On a bad day it's called the Royal Flush!
ReplyDeleteYou read an interesting book. I like the title. And the cappuccino, too. Great place to read a book..... without the smell ofcourse.
