Chania Crete June 6, 2014


Chania, Crete June 6, 2014
Walked through part of the old city in order to rent a cat for a drive to two
 Monasteries, Agis Triada and Guvernato. The first one was magnificent with beautiful gardens and impressive hanging candle lanterns. A long winding road took us up a steep incline to the Guvernato which we found was closed on Fridays. No big loss since the monastery was under going major repairs. Back to Chania for a look at the inviting beaches on the south side of town. We stopped for a small lunch and were surprised afterwards to a serving of cake and the Greek liquor Raki, a potent drink tasting like grips. Spent the rest of the day walking through the winding streets of the town. A great post dinner variety show of dancers and singers capped off our evening.
