INSIDE THE LIGHTHOUSE

And here comes that day, when what you have been dreaming ever since you were a young boy from Chania, comes true.

All the stories made up in your head about the inaccessibility of the Venetian Harbor’s Lighthouse, are now just stories. I know now exactly how it feels to be inside!
I can barely fit through the tiny window; I was trembling as I was coming out yet a huge smile was stuck on my face during the entire ascent, as I was climbing to the top, 30 meters high…

Evidently, those who know me know how acrophobic I am and are well aware that I am just kidding. However, when you find the door open, you take a leap of courage, you take permission and you let yourself travel in time. You enjoy the view from above and savor every moment like a little kid.

This is exactly what I choose to remember from 2020. After 45 years of life on the island, I entered a place where very few people have entered during these 45 years and answered all my questions by feeling and breathing the air from high above, with a sentiment of fulfillment. I wholeheartedly want to thank the person who allowed me to do it and I wish that everyone can fulfill their childhood dream one day. Not everything is black during the Covid 19 years…our dreams just like this picture are full of colors…
