A Quiet Sunday in Chania

On Sunday, June 3rd, we went to get a bougatsa for breakfast at the bougatsa place that both Lonely Planet and Tatiana had recommended, Bougatsa tou Iordanis.  While we were there, lots of people came in for their Sunday morning takeout order.  A bougatsa is a lot of cheese cooked in very thin phyllo dough.  You can then sprinkle it with sugar and/or cinnamon.  It was fine, but too much cheese for our taste. 

Then we went to the 10 o'clock mass at the Catholic cathedral.  Afterwards, we walked out the breakwater to the lighthouse.

For lunch, we went looking for a particular restaurant, but not finding it, we took our chances with Semiramis, and were pleasantly surprised.

That evening, we had a reservation for Thalassino Ageri, and walked all the way there, east of town, on the seashore amid the abandoned tannery buildings.  We had, as our main course, two small fish, a red snapper and a red mullet.  We enjoyed it all very much, eating out by the water as the sun set on our last day in Crete.
