Arriving late with my flight from Amsterdam I had little hope for a decent and affordable hotel room. But lo and behold even though the city was flooded with tourists I found a very nice room and strolling through town a lovely taverna with musicians playing great Cretan songs.
Good food and wine of course and just Greeks joining in singing. 
They made me feel very welcome as the only stranger in town ...

Cretan Evening Music

The guests joined in singing. One woman sang her heart out, I could hear her pain, I could hear the pain of her people. She was beautiful. The musicians appreciated my 'bravo' and applause. They shared some good raki with me. I felt at home.
