Sití­a, Crete, Greece
Nothing earthshaking here.
Just a pleasant afternoon stroll around the waterfront in a beach town with little else to do.

Most waterfront cafe/bars have an outdoor annex in front - a pre-fab room with transparent walls that can be raised or lowered according to the weather. Most have some sort of privacy curtains as well. And two (at least) have wi-fi access for customers.

Whaddya know?! A familiar and belovd Gaul, beaming at me in miniature from a fast-food shack.

With his name spelled in Greek alphabet, the rest of the sign in Latin. Hmm...

Innit fun to recognize furrin' spellings of familiar words?

This sign offers a variety of coffees.  I especially enjoyed figuring out capuccino and nescafe.

Like Rhodes, Sitia embeds mosaics in pebbles in some sidwalks. My guide book gives a name for this practice, but I don't remember it.
