Move off the main streets and you will quickly find delightful lanes and shady squares and courtyards, authentic cafes and even some Minoan ruins.

Chania is a beautiful city with many options available to you. It is not a small tourist town. It is a full sized city where locals live and work all year round. Great experience. Also very easy to fly into and base your holiday from.
