Things to do in Chania Town, Crete: The Best Nature & Parks
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.

Iguana Beach in Agioi Apostoli is located three kilometers west of the city of Chania. It is situated a few meters of the road from Chania to Platanias – and next to the Golden Beach. It is a beautiful beach, very popular for both locals and foreign visitors due to its close proximity to the town of Chania, the golden sand and the crystal clear waters. In the area of Agioi Apostoli, there is also a large number of restaurants, rooms for rent and newly built hotels for your accommodation.

Great beach with sand as far as you go out. You can rent sun chair and shade for 5 euros. Possible shopping right around the corner
