Chania
What to do in Chania
Chania is one of the largest cities on the Greek island of Crete. It’s built around its Venetian Harbour and historical quarter, with remnants of Turkish architecture to add a slightly more exotic flair. Be sure to check out Skrydlof – this shopping street has rows of shops specialising in leather products, with some creative restaurants nearby.
Chania has a more chilled-out atmosphere than many of its neighbours, making it an excellent place to get away from it all and unwind. The city also has a stronger focus on history and culture than most other places in Crete, with must-sees like its ancient mosque, churches and fortifications. However, there’s still a nice beach or 2 nearby if you just want to catch some rays.
