Chania

The first thing you always hear about Chania is the amazing Venetian Harbour and the Old Port with its narrow shopping streets and waterfront restaurants. Chania is Crete's second largest city after the capital Heraklion, it is largely divided into the old town and new town sectors with tourists favouring the charm of the old town which is truly beautiful and is primarily clustered close to the harbour.  You'll find old buildings, museums, churches and crafts shops with lovely gifts and souvenirs.

There are numerous restaurants surrounding the harbour which cater for all tastes. The atmosphere around the harbour has a touch of Florence and Venice (a few years ago when those cities still had some room to walk), combined with the culture and character of Cretan people and traditions.  There is nothing better than spending the evening enjoying good food and wine whilst watching the world pass by you around this stunning harbour.  There is also a good selection of bars and clubs which stay open until the early hours if you want to dance the night away!
 
The countryside surrounding Chania also has much to offer.  Mountain villages perched high above sea level and deep gorges offering numerous opportunities for walking or mountain biking.  If you want to do nothing more than lay on a sunbed and read a good book then you will find no shortage of beautiful sandy beaches to do so on.
