The City, Chania
"Crete's mystery is extremely deep. Whoever sets footon this island senses a mysterious force branching
warmly and beneficently through his veins,
senses his soul begin to grow"
Nikos Kazantzakis - Report to Greco
Chania, the gem of Crete, boasts
architecture and archaeology you
wouldn't expect to find combined in one
lively city. History in the old town of
Chania is literally layered as structures
stand one on top of the other. The
Minonan covered by the Classical, covered
by the Roman, covered by the Byzantine,
covered by the Venetian, covered by the
Ottoman.
Natural history and chaste beauty abound
from the mountains to the Sea. Praised by
Homer himself, Chania's grand blue offers itself to
inspire, dive in or sweetly sail through.
