Despite the growing numbers of tourists visiting this beautiful town, Chania has managed to keep its autenticity. Charming and magical with so many vestiges of its past, it is considered as the most picturesque town on the Greek Island of Crete. Chania, sometimes written as Xania, is where modern and old meet, blending together to make it a fascinating place. For those who want to do some exploring in beautiful narrow winding streets, spend time people watching and still laze on the beach, then this is the perfect choice.
