Chania

Chania, Crete's second-largest and highly popular city, has been inhabited for over 5,000 years. Evidence of various cultures (Minoan, Hellenistic, Venetian, Ottoman and Modern) attest to its rich heritage. Settlement began in the Proto-Minoan period (3650 BC), with later conquerors shaping the city's architectural structure, making it a significant and beloved tourist destination.
