Strike!

We went to the municipal art gallery only to find it (as well as the nearby tourist info kiosk) closed.


But we did find this place where they serve a borek Cathy wanted to try.  In fact it's the only thing they serve.  We walked in and they didn't ask if we wanted a menu, rather, how many portions did we want.  It is a filo dough pastry stuffed with cheese.  Sorry, cameraman was slow on the uptake, so you'll have to use your imagination.
The local archaeological museum was as good as any we saw in Turkey.  And for only 3 euro entrance fee and no crowds.  Minoan artifacts dating some 5,000 plus years old, many beautiful, all interesting.
 





And then we went to the Turkish Quarter to find a restaurant called The Well of the Turk, not to eat, but to locate so that when we do go there to dinner we'll be able to get there. So we wandered around, through narrow and winding alleys and finally   after an hour or two.  Now concerned how we will find it again, I paid very close attention to the landmarks on the way back to our lodging.  Well, ha ha, if not only two or three short blocks we were at the main market which is only a few more short blocks to Vranas Suites.  Anyway, interesting walk and some photos from along the way.







And so comes the heat of the afternoon.  Picnic supplies from the grocery to our room, where Cathy worked on her art journal, I did a thorough job on my nap journal, and now it's gin and tonic time.  Since the Well of the Turk is closed on Tuesday's, need to find an alternative dinner place.  It's a tough job but somebody gotta do it.
