At its heart is the picturesque Venetian Harbor, with pastel buildings, cozy cafés, and a landmark 16th-century lighthouse. As you explore the Old Town, you’ll wander through winding alleys lined with Ottoman facades, Byzantine churches, and bustling local markets. From elegant townhouses and hidden courtyards to traditional leather shops and artisan stalls, every corner reveals a new story. Chania isn’t just a city — it’s a living blend of East and West, where centuries of heritage come to life.
