Beyond being the largest city in western Crete, Hania (Chania) is also one of the most attractive. Its small harbour and labyrinth of Turkish and Venetian buildings never fail to charm visitors. Colourful markets and exquisite cuisine add more dimensions to a fantastic Greek holiday destination.Shops, cafes and tavernas line narrow, winding lanes, which lead to delicate stonework, white Orthodox churches and other photographic opportunities. Parts of the old city walls and buildings have also been excavated. Visitors can enjoy them during walks around town.Hania's port area is the oldest and most interesting locale. Holidaymakers will find its many bars and restaurants busy at night, while its few museums are certainly worth visiting for history buffs. Hikers must venture through the famous Samaria Gorge.
