The old town of Chania, with the magnificent harbor, radiates a unique Venetian aura while at the same time it offers mild Oriental elements. A walk in the small streets of the town will make your heart "travel" through the history of Crete. The closed market, in the shape of a cross, is always clean, full of people and smells. The archaeological museum is located in the basilica of St Frantsesko, one of the most beautiful Venetian buildings which dates back to the 14th century. Behind the town of Chania the famous White Mountains are located with the highest peak Pahnes Mount at 2456 meters.
