I might have gotten a little carried away in Chania.
But if you got almost lost in these streets, you wouldn't be able to resist either.
New fit seamlessly over old and old blended into new and old and new seemed to be tossed together into this beautiful little city on the northern coast of Crete.
With so many distractions - markets to find all the varieties of olives and little shops boasting leather goods and museums and boutique hotels hidden in the alleyways and churches and restaurants each claiming their own unique flair - I managed to soak in about nothing our tour guide shared. Got a little too excited to see the math/science themed cafe (complete with giant colorful abacus on the wall). Obsessed over the streets that reminded me of places I've never been. Awkwardly held up pedestrian traffic to peak into every door along the way. Pretended to be photogenic while strolling up and down and back up the harbor. And dined at one of the waterfront restaurants as the sun slowly descended somewhere behind the rows of sailboats. Days are long on the Greek Islands.
