Chania is Crete’s second largest town and the capital of the homonymous regional unit. It lies on the island’s north coast, about 60 km (37 m) west of Rethymno and 135 km (84 m) west of Heraklion. Also known as “Venice of the East”, Chania is divided into two parts: the old town and the larger modern one. The old town is situated all around the old harbor and is the matrix upon which the whole urban area was developed. It used to be surrounded by the old Venetian fortifications, the building of which started in 1538; nowadays only the eastern and western parts of these fortifications survive.

Chania has a long and unique history to narrate: once a Minoan settlement, it then went through the Roman, the Byzantine, the Arab, the Venetian and the Ottoman era. Through various revolts, it was finally reunited with the rest of Greece in 1913. The 2nd World War and the Battle of Crete are other important chapters of Cretan history.

Chania’s nature, hospitality and culture are just too rich to be included in a sole paragraph. You are welcome to see and feel them for yourself. And in doing so, enjoy yourself!
