Khania

Passing through the large Turkish cemetery, which was covered with an early crop of blue anemones, we came upon the rich plain of Khania, lying broad and fair, like a superb garden, at the foot of the White Mountains, whose vast masses of shining snow filled up the entire southern heaven.

From the spinal ridge of the promontory, which we crossed, we overlooked all the plain of Khania, and beyond the Dictynnæan peninsula, to the western extremity of Crete.

Khania occupies the site of the ancient Cydonia, by which name the Greek bishopric is still called.

"How can I tell, O uncle of the Khania," I answered wearily, "who have scarcely seen her?"
