Hey Rea!
What an absolutely gorgeous post about Chania!
The Old Town seems to have a little bit of everything, history, culture, heritage and most definitely beautiful island architecture. The pictures are a real treat to the eyes and it's amazing how I can feel the culture seep through the pictures. It's definitely retained all of the best aspects of Cretan tradition and culture.
The food I imagine is also terrific, I can only speak from my experience in Santorini with Greek food, but I only have good things to say about that!
I also really loved that little red submarine in the harbour, it really stands out against the many other fishing boats. I wonder if you could ride that??
Really fantastic post Rea, congrats!
Yes, beautiful post by Rea! I will follow now. Crete has figured prominently in the revival in Greek cuisine
Thank you @higomex, I cannot agree more!
Hey there, @sweetsssj!
Thank you for visiting my post!
And yes, Chania was a historical masterpiece. As you put it so well, the place was alive with this real "vintage" feel all around. You could imagine the ships pulling into the harbour and the seaman offloading various cargo onto dry land. I love that aspect about Crete as it has maintained the structures of many of it's beautiful historical buildings so well for tourists and locals alike to enjoy and explore.
The food was astounding and I so appreciate the praise for my pictures coming from someone as skilled and masterful as you are with a camera. Of course, being near the sea, all the fish and prawns were fresh and bursting with flavour. A definite taste difference to what I'm used to here in London. It's was an absolute joy.
That submarine was awesome and we had exactly the same thought! Unfortunately, there was nobody nearby for me to enquire more about possible trips inside it. Would be so cool though, lol!
Thank you once again for leaving such heart-warming and humbling comments for my post. Really means a lot to me and as always, look forward to much more from your incredible life-blog too. :)
Not only that, the tradition and culture in china is also very cool @sweetsssj
