Sightseeing
Just a stroll by the sea is enough to convince you that the Venetian port of Chania with the Egyptian Lighthouse, the city's registered trademark, is the beginning of your tour. Not only because the heart of the city beats there because of the many restaurants, cafes and bars that give life to the ancient alleys, but also because in every corner, every turn, you will come across another monument, an attraction worthy of your attention. From the main square to the Fountain, the Giali Mosque, the Cathedral, the Franciscan Monastery that houses the archaeological museum, the Firka fortress, and the Neoria, you really won't know where to start and where to end! And don't forget to take this ride on a horse carriage.

One of the "secrets" of Chania is Kournas Lake, the only natural freshwater lake in Crete.
