Have a walk at the Old Venetian Port and fall in love with the beauty of this town…

Picturesque narrow alleys, the imperious lighthouse that has been there for more than 5 centuries, colourful plazas flooded by the scent of flowers, historical churches and the Jewish synagogue, combine harmoniously with the modern lifestyle, the restaurants, the bars and all the different kinds of artistic and cultural activity, justify the timeless value of Chania.

The Old Town of Chania is a historical monument, composed by the buildings of the many conquerors who passed through the island of Crete. The Venetians built the great walls of the Old City and influenced the architecture, the Egyptians built the lighthouse, and the Turks built the Giali Jamisi, which is why every corner of this city is an amazing journey to the history of Crete.
