I visited Hania 3 years ago with my wife and daughter and the place really impacted on me. I had been brought up with Crete as part of our history as my uncle and fought and was captured there (along with many other kiwis). I think Hania is one of the treasures of the world, a most beautiful port. So much in fact we named our daughter Danielle Xania.<BR/><BR/>Take care <BR/><BR/>Scott TM<BR/><BR/>sjtaylormoore1@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864116380117888144.post-83099567500216495022008-12-10T07:58:00.000+02:002008-12-10T07:58:00.000+02:00that was beautiful...that was beautiful...magiceyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848851692951192508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864116380117888144.post-78958533846395221532008-12-10T00:55:00.000+02:002008-12-10T00:55:00.000+02:00Maria, What a beautiful post.
