CHANIA
Located at the western end of Crete, the second largest city of the island, Chania, has been characterized as one of the most beautiful places in Greece.
The rich cultural heritage, the variety of natural environment and the mild Mediterranean climate prevailing in the wider area of Chania, make it an ideal destination all year round.
Holidays in Chania combine relaxation with stunning beaches, visits to historical sights and authentic experiences of the Cretan hospitality and tradition.
Activities and Attractions
• Turn back in time with a stroll through the most important site of the area, the Old Town of Chania. Developed around the Venetian Harbor (so-called “Old Harbor”) with the trademark Egyptian Lighthouse, it is surrounded by the fortifications of the 16th century, beyond which lies the modern part of the city.
• Try the Cretan products in the Municipal Market and taste Mediterranean cuisine and local dishes in restaurants and taverns.
• Organized or fully isolated, the beaches of Chania are very diverse and therefore provide a lot of choices. They are a short distance from the center or even within the city itself, or a little further, like the stunning beaches of Elafonisi, Balos and Falassarna.
• Explore the area’s attractions, tour the White Mountains trails, hike in the famous Samaria Gorge and visit the museums of local history and tradition.
• Chania’s location is ideal for day trips to other areas of Crete, including the cities of Rethymno and Heraklion.
The natural beauty of the area of Chania and the variety of pictures and landscapes that it presents, promise to provide the visitor with unique experiences.
