History has created a special atmosphere around the city of Chania and the homonymous prefecture, which is one of the reasons why it’s so popular. The natural beauty of this location is immense: the long sandy beaches, the imposing massif of Lefka Ori towering over the southern part of the prefecture and the canyon of Samaria are just a taste of what’s to follow. The Venetian and the Turkish influences are still present in the old neighborhoods of Chania and the city has managed to preserve its charm in spite of the hugely developed tourist infrastructure. Everyday life in the venetian harbor and the narrow streets of the traditional neighborhoods has a rhythm of its own, and it’s up to you to get en sync. |
