A balcony over the street June 14, 2006
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Travel , trackback
I sat on the balcony of the apartment in the ancient Venetian townhouse last week in Hania, looking down and along the narrow street watching people go by while I ate breakfast. Across the road the little ouzeri wasn’t quite open yet, though the son of the family, who had been playing guitar in there until about 11 the previous night was already up and gone, delivering to restaurants. A couple of cats wandered around, and women were setting up tables, sweeping, going about their business. Tourists came by, some with a walking guide, taking photos of the buildings covered in nasturtiums and bougainvillea.
The hotel was Silde Apartments, and is highly recommended. It only has 4 rooms, and I think I’d pick the one at the top, though mine on the first floor was excellent too. Silvia runs it, with the help of Thomais from next door, and they’ll do everything they can to make your stay go well.
