Experience the Best of Cretan Culture
Originating from Minoan times and having been under Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman rule, Chania—Crete’s second-largest city and its former capital—boasts a rich historical legacy. This is especially visible in its Old Town, which features attractions such as the Venetian port and its iconic lighthouse, the Nautical Museum of Crete, and the Firkas Fortress, all top sights in Chania. While Nea Chora beach offers convenience for those staying nearby, the picturesque Balos and Falasarna beaches are well worth the trip. Additionally, the Samaria Gorge showcases the rugged beauty of Crete at its finest.
