Another sunny day in Crete!
A beautiful
winter day and I wish I had a chance to go for a walk in Chania. Chania is at a
distance of approximately two hours from Heraklion and with a population of about
160.000 people, is the second largest city in the island.
Chania has
an airport, a harbor and excellent tourist infrastructure, with hotels, shops,
restaurants, as every year they receive a very large number of visitors.
It is a beautiful
modern city, while the old town with its stone-built alleys is exceptionally
atmospheric for an afternoon walk or for an evening excursion.
Chania is
one of the oldest cities in Crete with a rich history. It is a city that has
preserved its traditional architecture and most of its monuments since the time
of the Venetians and the Turks.
The
Venetian harbor, the Naval Museum and the Firkas fortress, Yali Mosque, the
Turkish mosque in the Venetian harbor of Chania, the Venizelos Tombs, just
outside the city with a magnificent view of Chania are only some of the
monuments of other times , which is worth visiting the visitor to Chania.
And then
enjoy his coffee or a traditional Cretan meal overlooking the sea, in one of
the many beach cafes and restaurants.
Besides,
it's no a coincidence that Chania is one of the most photographed places in
Greece!
