Chania in Crete is very popular due to its old town and harbour, the heart of the region, which attracts visitors from all over the world. The city is considered one of the most beautiful and picturesque cities in Greece, as it has retained its historic character. The architecture reflects the different cultures and civilisations that have lived on the island, including Venetians, Turks and Egyptians. The narrow streets are lined with Venetian villas and Turkish houses, mansions and palazzi, mosques, small churches and a beautifully restored synagogue. Many of these buildings are used as residences, hotels or museums, while others are shops, boutiques, cafés and restaurants. Chania is one of the most beautiful cities in Crete, with beautiful houses, parks and squares and a well-designed old town. The public market is an impressive building in the city centre, built at the beginning of the current century (1911) and housing grocery stores, butchers, a fish market and greengrocers. The public gardens next to the market are ideal for those seeking shade and tranquillity. Northeast of the gardens is the beautiful Chalepa district, where the residences of Prince George and Eleftherios Venizelos were located. The old town has largely retained the distinctive atmosphere and charm of the Venetian and Turkish periods. Entire Venetian, Turkish and Jewish quarters have been preserved, with well-preserved buildings in the narrow, picturesque alleys. All modern shops and amenities are just a 10-minute walk from the Venetian harbour, as is the sandy beach of Nea Chora.
