What Baba Yianka is known for

In the Maheradika quarter on Sifaka Street, Baba Yianka stitches leather goods entirely by hand with rulers, forks and needles rather than electric machines. The range covers the Vourgiali backpack, belts, wallets, tobacco cases and jewellery in traditional Cretan designs.
