In postwar Heraklion, Eleftherias Square looked totally different from what it does today, and was a meeting point for young people of the time.

The girls would go for walks, always decently dressed, and the boys would watch from a distance. Sometimes they would dare to speak to the girls to express their admiration, knowing full well that society rules in those days meant they were unlikely to receive an answer.
