The Venetian port and the old town of Chania around it. Το Βενετσιάνικο λιμάνι και η παλιά πόλη των Χανίων γύρω από αυτό.

The town of Chania in western Crete. At the center of the photograph you can see the old port, the lighthouse and part of the walls protecting the older section of the town. Every time I go there, I like to walk the narrow stone paved streets of the old town and then have my coffee at one of the cafes around the old port.
Κάθε φορά που βρίσκομαι στην Κρήτη, μ' αρέσει να περπατώ στα στνά δρομάκια της παλιάς πόλης των Χανίων και να πίνω τον καφέ μου στο παλιό Βενετσιάνικο λιμάνι.

  4. Oh Costas, these images are outstanding, they are so wonderful, the old structures along side the new. Then add in the element of the gorgeous sea the freshness, just stunning entries. I can hardly wait to see what you shall share in the coming New Year. Cheers~

  6. I am glad you present photos of Chania. As I wrote already, I would like to visit Crete one day. BTW, could you tell how much is the ferry for car and persons, from the continent, and how long it takes?

    I see you have a new header too.
