These colorful old doors, paint peeling from them beautifully, lean against the stone walls in a charming cobbled backstreet in the Old Town of Chania, Crete. They aren’t there by accident. As you can see they’re positioned artfully. They belong to the little taverna across the lane, closed for the winter when we visited, sadly. But the taverna is called ‘Les Portes’ – The Doors! I wonder if they understand a traveller’s fascination with the things? Or whether they simply share our passion?

You’re on! (as we say in Australia) But don’t you hate the possibility that it may be disappointing? I like the element of mystery that surrounds a closed restaurant that you may never get to try… especially one so creative with their exterior decor!

Oh, I’d love to know more about this ‘door extravaganza’ – I’ve gone to your site but it’s not working…?
