old town cafe
Greece
Creta
Heraklion
Heraklion is the largest city in the island of Creta.The section of the old town is a real maze of tiny streets that still save rich marks of the long Venetian occupation and are, from morning to night ,crowded with trading merchants,cafes, restaurants and all kind of shops. Quite numerous are the cosy, tiny tavernas where one can enjoy a quick meal with local specialites and drinks with low prices.
In the photo, one of these tavernas advertizing the 90 year old of it's existence!..Definitely an exageration!

if it weren't for the nike pants, converse shoes and the euro sign, i'd say this could very well have been taken in the 50s, too! what a great timelessly nostalgic ; ) feel to this cozy open tavern! love, how you caught the beautiful lady fixing her hair for the photo! ; )) greetings, sabine.Janos Gardonyi 30/09/2014 0:05

Che bella atmosfera, sembra di essere lì.Piacevole cromia che sa di antico, di incorruttibile.
Un caro saluto Alex, CIAo!

People talking and drinking, but my two favourites are the lady on the far left seemingly scratching her head. and the elderly gent on the right who seems to be really glaring at her for some reason. an exellent candid with, I am sure, many stories to tell.:))
