Chania

Chania is one of the most popular destinations in Crete. The old buildings clustered near the Old Venetian Harbour, a string of quality waterfront restaurants and narrow streets lined with shops, make the city a desirable destination for tourists. There are several museums, providing a good introduction to the history and culture of Crete and Chania itself, such as the Naval Museum (also called the Maritime Museum) and the Archeological Museum. Around Chania there are a plethora of interesting sites, such as the Samaria Gorge, the Venizelos Graves, the district of Tabakaria, and a score of interesting small villages perfect for immersing yourself in Cretan culture.
