The Story of Chania
Starting location: Kountourioti
Back to the beginning of the 17th century. Erotokritos was pacing the quays of Chania. He had fallen madly in love with Princess Aretousa over the past few months. But how could he declare his love for her? That was almost impossible as the son of the King\\\'s most trusted advisor. The only thing Erotokritos could think of was to serenade the princess every evening incognito...
His plan worked! Slowly but surely, Aretousa fell in love with the anonymous singer. But unfortunately, the king also got wind of the musical extravaganza and sent his soldiers after the noise. Fortunately, Erotokritos was prepared for an attack, but his attackers had to pay with their lives. Chania was no longer safe for the worshipper and he had to get away. Would he still have time to see Aretousa?
