You say Xania, Chania, Hania, & Hanya. I say yes please.


Our first stop among the Greek islands was at a small town in western Crete called, depending on your preferred translation, Xania, Chania, Hania, or Hanya. Nevertheless, ıt's an extremely charming spot.


We're pretty well into the offseason now, whıch meant we could afford a room wıth a vıew:)


Crete was controlled by the Ventians and the Turks at various times and the town's architecture and planning reflect this history. We spent probably more tıme there than was necessary, fattening up on some of the best meals of the whole trip. Sadly we were scarfing down the food too quickly to photograph it, but the discovery of what real tzatziki should taste like was just one of several gastronomıic epiphanies.

p.s. How do you like my new jacket? Very world-travellery, no?
