Chania was once the capital of Crete, and its old town reflects centuries of Venetian and Ottoman rule: a lighthouse at the harbor mouth, a domed mosque on the waterfront and lanes of restored mansions behind. It is a lively, beautiful town and a gateway to western Crete's wild beaches, gorges and mountain villages.
The old town around the harbor and the quieter Splantzia and Topanas quarters are full of small hotels in historic houses. Beaches and countryside retreats lie a short drive away.
The Samaria Gorge, Balos lagoon and Elafonisi beach are classic day trips. Cretan food is a highlight, from local cheeses to raki. The season runs from April to October.
