Bummed around Athens during the day yesterday. Got the last pair of sandals and went to the Folk Museum, which was really nice - I love seeing traditional dress, and they had tons of mannequins in dress from all over the country. Will post a picture later.
The flight to Hania was quick and we actually managed to find our way from the airport to the hotel - even though at first I was looking at the map of Iraklion, ha! The hotel is truly adorable, and I'm in love w
ith the area of town that the hotel is in. It's the old Venetian port and the "roads" are narrow walkways with gorgeous buildings on each side.
Several people and guidebooks had recommended Tamam restaurant, and since we walked right by it on the way
to the hotel, we decided to eat dinner there. We ordered tzatziki, fried potatoes with warm cheese, the house salad, zuchini croquettes, and boureki (cheese pastry). No, we did NOT finish it all, but we gave it a good try!!! The server brought us a complimentary dessert which I loved, some kind of lemony halva-type creation. Also, he brought us raki, which - WOO - may be an acquired taste.
Today we are off to Iraklion to see the city and the palace of Knossos. More later!
