The 10 Best Shopping in Chania Town, Crete

May 27, 2021 Roger Rusk

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.

It's a great store, every piece is carefully selected. For adults and children. You will find a lot of gifts from Chania. I love the handcrafted leather bags and rare designer accessories. The glasses made of wood caught my attention. Everything is amazing about this shop. Nina, the owner of the store, I enjoyed talking to her, always smiling. If you want to have something special, you should visit this store.

My friend and I discovered this shop when our cruise ship stopped at Chania. This shop is wonderful. There are lovely Ancient Greek and Minoan replicas, very nice quality jewelry pieces, and other works of art by Greek artists. It is several steps above a souvenir shop. We actually went twice. If I visit Chania again I will definitely visit. Also it is very close to the museum, and be sure to ask about the location of the Minoan town excavations just a short walk away along one of the side streets.
