  This is one of my favorite views in the city. The old Venetian Harbor, with the minaret on the pier. I love how ancient Crete is, you have Spanish, Venetian, Roman and ottoman occupation all in the same harbor over the last two thousand years. If you get a few blocked off the main drag and you check out the old walls they're lit up in red it's absolutely amazing.

  The Old Venetian Harbour is a trademark of Chania (the second largest city in Crete). Although, to some, this may be considered a "touristy" place, it is visited and enjoyed by the locals alike. Numerous restaurants and cafes line the beautiful harbour. You'll also find plenty of hidden gems as you wonder down the maze of winding cobblestone streets. Locals and store owners are very friendly and hospitable. If you're looking for a place to stay, there are many hotels (most overlooking the harbour and sea). Such a vibrant atmosphere... You can start and end your evening there..
