Today was an easier day. I walked around Chania. When the Crusaders captured the Byzantine Empire in the 1200s, they sold Crete to Venice. The Venetians built a fortress as part of the harbor which encompasses quite a large area. Many of the walls are completely intact; most are still there in some form. Houses and other buildings have been built right against it, using it as the back wall. I found a Byzantine museum, a Byzanatine wall, and a very cool vegan restaurant named Pulse. At the restaurant I was able to practice my German with a fellow guest.
