Cretan chairs

We all know and "love" Cretan chairs Here are a few to contemplate!

Something old, something new




Wonderful piece of wood!

Reuse, recycle!






Distressed look?

Colourful

Waiting for tourists

Chair repairs in Paleochora

My favourite armchair

Some people may think that this is the best use for chairs. Jean's wonderful flower display!

Mrs Spiridoula's - A hidden Gem

Tucked away in the little village of Kakopetros is a tiny cafenion, untouched by time for 50 years!


Outside painted gourds hang jauntily - so you can't miss it!



Inside - except for the television- nothing has changed in years

We ordered Greek coffee and it came accompanied by Easter biscuits, cheese, olives and warm, freshly cooked cheese pies with honey


A jumble of old photographs on the wall

The coffee was pretty good


Lunch simmering on the wood burning stove


Just how long have those shelves been there?

Good Tsigoudia too


Views down across the gorge

Plants in bright spotty pots echo the colours of the gourds. Lovely place to relax with a coffee or a cold drink.


Not exactly expensive!



If you want to visit Mrs Spiridoula's it is about ten minutes out of Paleochora towards Hania.
