Crete - Hania Archaeological Museum

This museum (housed in an ancient church) had a fabulous collection of pieces from ancient Minoan and Roman eras. When we first arrived, a little one decided that an open Minoan sarcophagi would be a great to climb in, talk about a heart attack! The guard almost had one too!
This was great.
I've never seen these type of pots before.
Phew a covered sarcophagi.
Roman mosaic
These cow statues were wonderful, I just wanted one.
Bird headed Goddesses.
This was absolutely beautiful, she is only 5cm tall, but the details were breathtaking.

Crete, Chania/Hania

We had a lovely visit to Hania, it use to be the capital of Crete, until they moved it to Heraklion. It had a fabulous atmosphere and the food was excellent.
Good old see-saws.
A Visit to the maritime museum, where they had a boat modelled on an ancient Cretan boat.
The harbour
Lunch under the trees, with locals and a few tourists.
Many of the churches use to be mosques and visa versa. Showing the rich history of Crete, where it was taken by the Turks, and the Venetians.
