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.

This disused minaret, a remnant of Ottoman rule found in the town centre, for some reason always makes me think of Rapunzel and her golden hair.
Is it possible to take a tour inside? There's a fabulous view from atop the minaret I guess!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been some looooong hair.

I can totally see why! That balcony is screaming for a young girl with long hair to lean over the railings.
ReplyDeleteI missed your posts and the beautiful places of Crete. It reminds (the minaret) of Rapunzel ,too.
