The life and times of this very beautiful town, now become a city. The movie starts off in the afternoon in Crete when all of the shops are closed. Notice the cars....mostly American. There are some 3-wheeler vehicles as well. You'll see a white Fiat...that was our car. Donkeys and horses are as prevalent on the roads as cars.

The ol' gas stations are a hoot! This movie has some great scenes around the Agora, Xania's most prominent shopping center. There are some driving scenes which meander their way through the city.

Some of the street scenes don't show very many people. Those clips were likely shot in the mid afternoon when many people are taking their afternoon nap.

If you recognize certain landmarks or scenes or people, please leave a comment and share with us your reflections or memories about this time.

This video was shot and edited by Anthony Sooklaris, Antonis Tsouchlarakis, in 1961.

Enjoy

  • Αντιγράφω απο την σελίδα"Ιστορικό Αρχείο Κρήτης / Historical Archives of Crete" στο FaceBook:

    "...Το βίντεο δημιουργήθηκε από τον Anthony Sooklaris (Αντώνης Τσουχλαράκης) το 1961, μονίμου κατοίκου ΗΠΑ, κατά την πρώτη (τετράμηνη) επίσκεψη της οικογένειάς του στην Κρήτη, στα πλαίσια του ταξιδιούι της Παγκρητικής Ένωσης Αμερικής στο νησί. Ο καλλιτέχνης που ακούγεται είναι (όπως σωστά προαναφέρθηκε) ο Γιώργης Κουτσουρέλης από το Καστέλι Κισάμου..."

  • 6:30-6:45 The square with the statues is "1866" square.
