Chania
Up
until 1972, Chania was the capital of Crete. Today, it is the second
largest town in Crete, with its own airport serving Western Crete.
Many believe Chania to be one of the most impressive towns in the
whole of Greece. Chania is really two towns. The old walled town with
its mediaeval quarters and the new town with its magnificent harbour,
consists of houses and churches from both the Venetian and Turkish
periods. Walking through the
maze of narrow streets is like a trip through the history of Crete.
Here around the crescent shaped harbour you will find many excellent
restaurants, bars and small shops, as well as the famous cruciform
shaped market, with its fascinating array of provisions. The unique
melting pot of history which forms this town is part of its enduring
charm. Scattered north and west from Chania, lie countless beautiful
beaches along with many small villages and pretty coves. Here is the
perfect holiday town and area that caters for most tastes. There are
water sports, ideal sunbathing spots and many worthwhile excursions
through the western part of the island. Of further interest is the
Akrotiri peninsula with its ancient atmospheric monasteries. The peninsula
divides the Bay of Souda, with its beautiful natural harbour, and
the Bay of Chania. The towns of Sougia, Chora Sfakion, and Paleochora
in the South, as well as Kissamos and Phalassarna in the West, are
all easily reached by bus. The region around Chania is also the best
base from which to take the walk through the glorious wild natural
beauty of the famous 18km Samaria Gorge. In the wonderful region in
and around Chania we have carefull chosen a selection of accommodation,
in a wide choice of villages such as Kalathas, Stavros, Kalamaki,
Stalos, Platanias, Gerani, Kolimabari, Maleme and Tavronitis, which
are all between 5 and 25 km distance from the town of Chania.
