Crete Holiday - Minoan ship in Chania

While on our most recent trip to Crete this May, we ventured upon a small exhibition at the end of the harbour in Chania (near to the site of the outdoor market) depicting the reconstruction of an old Minoan sailing / rowing ship. This exhibition is well worth visiting; not only can you see the reconstructed ship, but there are numerous photos and explanations of its construction.

Unfortunately, we weren't in Crete when the ship was put through its trials in Chania harbour, nor when it was rowed / sailed all the way to Piraeus - what an achievement! So, we had to content ourselves with a photo of a photo of the event.
