10 Sights & Landmarks in Chania Town That You Shouldn't Miss
Much of the old town district of Chania was developed around its harbor, which was built by the Venetians during the 14th century. Its lighthouse still proudly overlooks the Mediterranean. Here you’ll find several cinemas and historical attractions like the Archaeological Museum, a collection of Minoan and Roman artifacts that’s housed in the former Monastery of Saint Francis. Word nerds will especially enjoy the Museum of Typography.

There is so much to see and do in this busy Harbour area including ample shops, bars, restaurants and cafes, boat trips, a museum, an art gallery and the lighthouse plus fabulous views to enjoy. It is also a great walking area. On top of all that, we had a superb lunch. Our time was sadly limited as we had to return to our hotel in Chersonisos, but had a most enjoyable visit and we definitely recommend.

A nice walk with interesting churches, chapels, a cave and a small herbor at the end of the gorge. Take enough water with you in high summer.

Chania's little lighthouse is at the end of a nice walk around the beautiful harbour. My husband, dad and I walked all the way too it - it's quite a walk and my mum and sister chose not to join us as there are steps and craggy bits - you have to watch where you're stepping, but worth the walk.

Eleutherios and Sofoklis Venizelos, father and son, they were both prime ministers of Greece. Their tombs are situated up in a hill, with (one of) the best views above the city. It worths a visit when the sun sets and if the sky is clear, you can enjoy the beautiful colours!
9. Cathedral of Assumption
10. Agia Aikaterini Church
