Chania

Chania sits on the northwest coast of Crete, the second-largest city on the island and one of the most photogenic harbours in Greece. The Venetian Harbour is a small horseshoe basin surrounded by 16th-century quay houses, a 1830s Egyptian lighthouse on the breakwater (the oldest in the eastern Mediterranean), and the converted Hassan Pasha mosque. The Old Town behind the harbour holds the Splantzia quarter (the Ottoman-era working district) and the Topanas quarter (the Venetian merchant houses). Day-sail routes reach Balos Lagoon (a famous pink-sand beach in 4 hours west, reachable by water or rough road) and the Akrotiri peninsula east. Chania is 2 hours from Rethymnon by sail. Season runs April through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
