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.

Menu board
Konaki Restaurant by the old harbour was sporting this mantinada:
"What you are going to eat, my friend, In the company of the Lyre, Staka and Wedding pilaf rice Which is the Greek Viagra."
The culture and food will live forever!

P.S. Does anyone still say hoi polloi in Greek? I just used it in my post.
