Starting at Küçük Hasan Pasha Mosque, I meander down the narrow cobblestone streets of Chania. The air’s filled with the scent of fresh bread from nearby bakeries, mingling with salty sea breezes. I pass by local shops and cafes, their chatter and laughter creating a light hum in the background. As I approach Assumption Cathedral, the ground shifts beneath my feet from uneven stones to smoother pavement, marking the transition to the more open square where the cathedral stands proudly.
