history

A journey of multiple centuries has left numerous landmarks within the city center and its suburbs, offering a wide range of must-see places and monuments. The city’s most emblematic landmark is the lighthouse, which is one of the oldest in the world, having been built four centuries ago. The dominating Turkish Mosque (Yali Tzami) is hard to miss, is the first mosque built by the Turks in Crete and the only one that has survived centuries of historic and monumental transitions. In Kastelli Hill, a five minute walk away from Malmo Historic Hotel, one can see the ruins of one of the three greatest Minoan cities. Many other constructions and monuments such as Traditional Clock (roloi) and the Market place (Agora) are integrated in the modern city life and are the witnesses of the city’s recent history.

 

Many monuments from the Minoan era, Venetian and Turkish monuments, minarets and post war sites, as well as numerous places of religious interest are all over the town and we will be glad to provide directions and suggest routes that will enhance your experience while in the city.

nature

Chania is above all on an island that combines the mountain and the sea. Depending on the time of your visit, there is a grand variety of places to visit, whether you enjoy a great mountain hike, a walk by the snow, and the experience of passing through a beautiful gorge, or if you mostly like the sea and wish to take a swim in the most idyllic beaches in the world.

 

A great option includes hiking the Samaria Gorge, the longest in Europe, which is an intense and stimulating experience. Chania is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts as, in total, the greater area provides 228 hiking routes. Being on an island, Chania also offers infinite options for beaches, with some of the most awarded options in the world that every year claim the universal preference.

 

Chania is all about the magnificent, natural beauty, at its purest form. We would be happy to recommend and provide suggestions on the places you should be visiting while in the city, from the most popular to the most hidden gems on the island.
