Villa Chania A Location
Known for its 14th Century Venetian harbour, narrow streets and waterfront restaurants, Chania is awash with Ottoman, Egyptian, and Venetian influences and with its touches of Florence combined with the wonderful culture of the Cretan people, it is generally considered to be one of the most beautiful and eclectic areas of Crete. Close to the harbour, visitors here will experience the stunning architecture of some of the oldest buildings of Turkish and Ventian design, as well as museums, churches, and craft shops selling local wares. There are many restaurants and cafes in the area offering everything from home-baked bread, bean salads, and excellent game, meat and vegetable dishes, as well as north African and Middle Eastern cuisine.The harbour itself is famous for its old lighthouse and waterfront Firkas Fortress (now the maritime museum), not to mention the ancient Turkish mosque that now hosts art exhibitions rather than being used as a religious building, and at night the waterfront and surrounding streets come alive with bars and clubs.
Set on Crete’s north coast, the region boasts beaches aplenty, from the Blue Flag awarded beach in Agioi Apostoloi and Gerani, to the more cosmopolitan bar-lined strip in Agia Marina, known for its red and gold sands and palm trees, and where from May to September you can watch the comings and goings of loggerhead sea turtles nesting on the beach. A short walk from the harbour will take you to Chania’s own beach, a beautiful sandy stretch well-equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, and where you’ll find plenty of cafes and tavernas to visit along the front. The water here is calm and shallow, and that, coupled with the fact that it is the nearest beach to the town means it can get quite busy. A second, quieter stretch of beach consisting of sand and shingle, Kladisos Beach, can be found just across the bridge by the harbour.
For holiday-makers who want more than sand, sea and sun, Chania offers plenty of cultural and educational attractions as well as natural beauty to enjoy. The Naval Museum delivers a fascinating introduction to the history of Crete, and the Maritime Museum on the west side of the port organises exhibitions to promote the Mediterranean arts. Other attractions that will appeal are the Archaeological Museum, and the Venizelos Graves, which has incredible views from amongst the trees, across the Venetian harbour and sweeping out over the sea and beyond. During the summer the region hosts cultural events around the town, including in the public gardens and in the open air theatre, which houses various musical and theatrical performances.
