The city of Chania is a real architectural jewel with old buildings, as well as excellent street plan with direct access. The new town, as it extends, embraces the old town with the beautiful and picturesque old Venetian port and the world famous lighthouse. The new town extends up to the old and famous district of Halepa with the neoclassical buildings with significant value, where our villa is located too.

Until 1999 Etz Hayyim was a desecrated house of prayer that remained the sole Jewish monument on the Island of Crete after the destruction of Crete's Jewish community in 1944. Essentially it stood as a monument to the success of the Nazis in obliterating 2300 years of Jewish life on the Island of Crete. Between 1996 and the year of its rededication in 1999, the structure was painstakingly restored. The philosophy that directed this work is summed up in the Hebrew Am Israel Hayy:'The people of Israel Live'. Today it stands as a vibrant statement of Jewish life, vitality and values, whereas until recently it was still mentioned on the World Monument Fund's list of most endangered sites. edit
