Chania
Couples and families who enjoy restaurants, city walks and lively evenings.
Chania’s old harbour is surrounded by narrow lanes, historic houses, shops and places to eat. The waterfront and old town make the evening part of the holiday.
Choose it to combine outings to western Crete’s beaches and villages with a return to town for dinner. Chania is a working city rather than a secluded resort. A house outside town may better suit a garden and private pool; an address in town serves a different plan built around evening walks.
Our tip
For evening walks to restaurants and the harbour, compare old-town addresses. For a larger villa with a pool, look at surrounding settlements too.
