About Chania
Chania blends ancient charm and Mediterranean beauty on the northwest coast of Crete. The 14th-century Venetian Harbour is Chania’s picturesque centrepiece, boasting a historic lighthouse and a harbour dotted with colourful buildings.
Wander down the windy, narrow cobblestone Chania streets to the old town. Centuries-old architecture, bustling markets and cosy tavernas create an enchanting atmosphere. We’d recommend visiting the Minoos Street market on Saturday mornings for a taste of local Cretan life.
Beyond its striking beauty, Chania boasts a rich history. As you stroll around the coastal city, it’s easy to spot traces of Minoan, Venetian and Ottoman influences. Want to go back in time? Head to the Archaeological Museum of Chania for ancient artifacts, or the Minoan’s World museum complete with 3D and 9D exhibits!
With its crystal-clear waters, sun-kissed beaches, and warm hospitality, Chania invites travellers to immerse themselves in the timeless allure of Cretan culture and bask in the Mediterranean way of life.
