Nicknamed the Venice of the East, Chania (or La Canea) is a beautiful town located on the northern coast of the island of Crete. The city presents itself as one of the most popular destinations in this area thanks to its beaches, its historical center and its architectural heritage. Chania also played the role of capital of Crete, from 1847 to 1972, while today it is the second largest city of the island after Heraklion.

It is a very picturesque town which bears witness to the different civilizations that have followed one another here over the centuries. The city, in fact, after being an important center for the Minoan civilization has become first a Roman colony and, in later centuries, the domain of the Venetians, Genoese and finally of the Ottomans.

Visit the charming city of Chania located on the northwest coast of the Greek island of Crete. This former Venetian port town is known for its well-preserved Old Town, which features a mix of traditional Greek architecture, Ottoman-era buildings, and Venetian mansions. Chania is surrounded by stunning beaches, and is also a popular hub for exploring the island’s rich history, including the ancient Minoan civilization and its Byzantine heritage.
