Chania Town  crete
ancient crete Chania consists of the old town and the new town. While the new town is just a modern city with no special interest in terms of beauty and architecture, the old town concentrates all the sights of Chania. The Old walled town is an area with outstanding Venetian buildings from the 15th century. The town is centred around the pretty Venetian harbour, it includes areas such as the Venetian neighbourhood of Topanas at the western quarter with the finest Venetian mansions and Spiantzia north-east of the city with the church of Agios Nikolaos, which was turned into a mosque. Other sights are the Firkas fort, which was built in 1629 and used as a prison for Cretan insurgents, the large walls of the Venetian fortress built in 1540, Kasteli on the eastern side of the port and Sindrivani square (in our days Eleftherios Venizelos Square), which was a meeting-place for intellectuals in the early 20th century. In the old town of Chania except the historical monuments, there are many excellent restaurants, bars and small shops.
