Chania Old Town

Chania Old Town is one of Crete's most enchanting historic districts, a labyrinth of Venetian and Ottoman architecture surrounding a beautiful crescent-shaped harbor. Colorful lighthouse, narrow alleyways with boutique shops and tavernas, a covered market, and a former mosque reflect layers of Minoan, Venetian, and Ottoman heritage. The harbor front at sunset, with its reflected lights shimmering in the water, is among the most romantic scenes in the Mediterranean.
