Chania also spelled Hania, is the second city of Crete and the capital of the prefecture with the same name. It is along the North coast of Crete, about 70 km west of Rethymno and 145 km west of Heraklion. Always the first thing you will hear about Chania – is the old Venetian Harbor port, the narrow shopping streets and waterfront restaurants.
Chania with its narrow shopping streets and waterfront restaurants lodged many worthy wonderful places and monuments such as the famous castle called Frangokastello, The Venetian Harbour, The Djamassi mosque, The Mitropolis Cathedral, The Naval museum, The Chania Harbour, The Chania Ligthhouse and wonderful beaches on the northern side the Islet of Elafonisso, Agia Marina, Agii Apostoli, Kalamaki, Kalyves, Geogioupolis, Kastelli-Kissamos, Kalathas and Platanias such as Sougia and Frangokastelo on the southern side. Falasarna Beach and Kolymbari Beach in the north offer some quieter spots, as same as the beaches of Domata and Loutro in the south.
The Chania Harbour is wonderful where at any particular time of the day the light produces a different result, creating a “different place”. This is the best chance to see some of the old buildings of Venetian and Turkish designs, which Greece once had across the island, and many of them been destroyed by the ravages of war and plunder.
Although Chania is a modern city, the interior is a labyrinth of old Venetian houses that you can wander around with an occasional reminder of the twentieth century. The port is actually in Souda Bay, but there are buses and taxis available to take you into the city.
