A photogenic harbour and a maze-like old town
Chania offers you a wonderful sense of history, with Venetian architecture, ancient Greek mythology, and a busy harbour. The town has something for families, couples, and adventurers – and is the second largest in Crete. It’s located on the island’s north west coast where you’ll find long stretches of golden sands home to water sports, sparkling shallow waters ideal for little paddlers, and a host of restaurants. There are two beaches to choose from, making it perfect for families wanting to enjoy a vibrant space with lots going on as well as couples who want to simply relax and take it easy.
History lovers will find plenty to keep them occupied in pretty Chania. The old town is full of wonderful Venetian architecture, colourful houses and a harbour where you can watch the little boats on the water. Explore the lighthouses, fort and ancient mosque or simply enjoy a coffee or ice cream as you soak in the atmosphere from a street side café.

The southernmost Greek island, Crete’s summers are something special. The temperatures are beach-worthy by April, climbing steadily throughout summer and peaking in July and August, when highs of 35°C are possible. Luckily, the island is prone to some cooling winds during summer that stop things getting too hot and sticky.

In Greece, a service charge will be included in the bill at restaurants and bars. Much like the UK, an additional tip is not required, although is appreciated for particularly good service. It is common to round off the amount when paying cash, particularly with wait staff and taxi drivers.
