The old town has a lot of character - This town, the old town, has a lot of character, undeniably. Its maze of narrow alleys make it a must-see place to visit. In the peak season, the flow of tourists is continuous and the terraces, those of cafes and restaurants are full. An old synagogue, which is not lacking in interest, nestles inside.

Chania city & Kournas Lake - It is a stunning city, I of the most beautiful I have seen in the Mediterranean in all the countries I have been, the market is very large but sell fruits, veg, spices, herbs etc not tacky clothes etc & the people on the stalls are generous, helpful & chatty eg we bought & paid for the 3 fruits we wanted and they called us back & gave us 2 other fruits for free, we visited the harbour & old town, which was bigger than we thought & the famous lighthouse. The whole town is tidy & the water crystal clear. As regards Kournas Lake, it’s a bit of a steep walk down & back but a cafe if you want to sit & look at the view for a while

CHANIA_Worth a visit! - The former capital of Crete invites with its history to spend at least one day there.
Whether culture, sightseeing or food, there is something for everyone.
Worth it 100%.
These old alleys with their great shops invite you to stroll.
We will be back...100%

Day out to Chania - Had a great day out wandering around the alleys and streets of Chania. It gets very busy around the harbour area and the bars/restaurants charge slightly more due to their prime location. there are some lovely places up the side alleys with typical Greek food

Beautiful city - Nice city with plenty of things to see. The market hall and the Venetian port. Nice little streets where you can stroll through and of course buy, from leather to olive oil.

Very nice city - Chania has a very nice old town with a port and many nice little streets. We liked it better here than in Rethymnon.

Nice city, not too big - Nice old town and a great port. The restaurants at the port are just looking for tourists. No real local cuisine rather mainstream pizza and gyros. Fresh fish tends to be available elsewhere at better prices. A short visit to the marinemuseum at the end of the port is worthwhile. Especially great is the old market hall in the center.

A very busy city - Lots of things are happening in Chania, pronounced "can ya" in Greek. The walk around the waterfront is very scenic. People everywhere, shops everywhere. Traffic is heavy and not for the faint-of heart. Parking? Good luck.
If you prefer city life, this is your place.

Chania City - Think Chania is too big a city.
Not so much coziness factor, restaurants in a row en masse.
Poor horses running around with people.
Too many tourists
