Chania

Steeped in history, Chania has been ruled by many civilisations throughout the ages and influences of this can be seen in the architecture throughout the city. The Old Town is situated next to the harbour, home to the 15th century lighthouse as well as a good choice of fish restaurants and tavernas.

Situated to the west of town is Chania’s sandy beach, with calm and shallow waters the beach is well suited to families. Tourists are well catered for with a selection of bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from.

Chania’s old town has so much to discover; ruins from the Minoan era, medieval fortifications and a 17th century fort, when you’ve finished exploring the narrow streets, visit the Agora covered market selling a variety of traditional products, its open every morning and is situated in the heart of town. For a family fun day out the Limnoupolis Waterpark is just 8km from Chania, and has slides, pools, a lazy river and water amusement games.
