Tabakaria (a lovely walk)

Today we headed to Tabakaria (Ταμπακαριά), roughly two kilometers from Thimari Gardens to the east. What a marvelous walk there, full of celestial blue, carpets of flowers in bloom and sweet scents of spring. Tabakaria, which used to be an area full of tanneries from the mid XIX century to the 70s of the XX century (80 of them at a certain point of history) now is slowly but constantly being revitalized. I predict that in 5-10 years its popularity may catch up with the old town of Chania as the views and its general ambiance are truly captivating.
