After concluding our visit in Madaro, we drove back into Chania and headed to the beautiful harbor for lunch.
It's not at all hard to understand why Vasilis called this his personal paradise.
During his Greek Navy career, he had spent twenty years in the megalopolis of Athens, and that was enough for him.

Chania has plenty of great dining and entertainment plus friendly citizens and beautiful surroundings. We told Vasilis we'd love to have him visit us in California, but he said he had no desire to leave Chania.

Walking past delicious wafting aromas emanating from inviting restaurants on this sunny day was a treat in itself.
Despite the fact that we had already had three meals that day, we stopped at a corner sidewalk cafe featuring our Greek favorite, souvlakis.
Once again, this gyro pita sandwich was delicious accompanied by Mythos Hellenic Lager.

After lunch, the under-25 set headed out to explore the shops while Vasilis and I sipped our beers and solved the world's problems, with Julie sipping a Diet Coke awed by our wisdom. If only the world paid as much credence to our musings as the ancient world paid to Socrates and Plato, although maybe we would have been considered to be like Bill and Ted to them.
By the way, if you know Julie, you understand that she might have expressed a few opinions herself, couched in the humility of Athena.
