The light House in Chania

Chania is a city of approximately 70.000 inhabitants, with a long history that dates from ancient times. It has been a meeting point for many civilizations (Minoan, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Turkish) that have all left their marks, which the visitor can meet in each of his/her steps. The city's old part is well - preserved and charming and the modern part is alive and organized.

The city offers many opportunities for recreation and entertainment in both summer and winter time. Summer time is best for relaxation, since the city is by the sea and is also the place where many excursions and walks begin to the rich natural environment of the Prefecture of Hania (beaches, mountainous paths, water springs, gorges, traditional villages, orchards, olive tree groves).
