Chania

Image 9 of 17

Chania is the main city of West Crete and was the capital of the island until 1971, when it moved to Heraklion.In view of the Aegean Sea and supported by the White Mountains, which are snowy in winter, the appearance of the old city dates from the centuries under Venice (1204-1645).Chania is a wonderful place to explore on foot.The municipal market, built in 1911, is worth a look at its fresh seasonal products and gifts such as Cretan and honey.It is a good base to visit the beaches of Elafonissi and Balos and to hike in the Samaria Gorge
