We spent the weekend exploring the Chania old town and the harbour area. We were here two years ago, so some of the places were familiar, but lots of new things to discover, too.

The perfect place for a meal after a walk through the old town.

This was my second visit to The Well of the Turk. We arrived early Friday night, hence the empty tables… This restaurant has lovely Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. There is a tapas plate with houmous, tzatziki, baba ganoush, and other lovely things that is just perfect with a glass of white wine.

The old mosque at the edge of the harbour functioned as a place of worship until 1923, but is now used for art exhibitions.

Here are some more shots from around town.

This lovely street is full of shops and cafes.

These old stone buildings can be found here and there among the newer ones… still right at home…

I love the way nature is trying to reclaim this spot.

And some from the Old Harbour area…

The old Venetian light house

Chania Old Port

And the sea… I just love the colours of blue and green you see here.
