Chania is the capital city of the beautiful and picturesque Chania Prefecture, situated by the north coast of west Crete. Here you will find a perfect blend of stunning beaches, small fertile plains, towering mountains and sprawling gorges like the Samaria Gorge. Chania Prefecture is the greenest part of the island, as the range of the White Mountains ensures the highest rainfall in Crete.
Chania is one of Crete’s oldest cities, boasting a long and turbulent history. Despite being the second most populated city on the island today, it has still managed to preserve its traditional architecture and many of its Venetian and Turkish monuments. The beautiful harbour with its lighthouse and the old town at its centre make Chania one of the most visited cities in Crete.
Chania is a seemingly effortless blend of two towns – the old, and the new. It’s easy to navigate through its central area, while its outskirts can get confusing. But it doesn’t deter from Chania’s charm! This captivating city is so enthralling that many find it difficult to leave.
Chania’s old town is its beating heart. Its charming, winding streets and historic buildings provide the perfect backdrop for romantic strolls. Many of these sites have been converted into small hotels, eateries, stores or homes.
