Chania, the second biggest city in Crete and most important agglomeration in the West of the island dates back until the neolithic period, about 3400 until 3000 years BCE. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements of Europe.

Chania is one of the most beautiful cities of Crete, if not of Greece. But there's not only Venetian and Ottoman architecture to marvel at, but also a nice, recently modernized beach just 10 min on foot from the city center.
