This is CHANIA, CRETE.
We spent a day exploring the beautiful Cretan city of Chania! It can be found on the north west side of the island of Crete (the largest Greek island).
We begin the day at Nea Chora beach, which is right in town. Here you’ll find lots of restaurants and bars along with beach chairs and umbrellas that you can rent for about 5 Euros.
Next we explore the old Venetian city walls which surround the old city. After walk up on the walls we come down to check out the Old Venetian port as well as the lighthouse, which happens to be one of the oldest in the world.
Lastly we explore the cute streets of the old city and stop to try to Cretan pies filled with spinach and mizithra cheese as well as some Greek coffee.

Crete:It is the largest of the Greek islands and is in the Mediterranean Sea between the Sea of Crete and the Libyan Sea, south of the Peloponnese. Crete is approximately 260 km long and 60 km wide. Crete consists of four prefectures: Chania, Rethimno, Heraklion and Lasithi. If there was a beauty contest for Greek islands, Crete would surely be among the favorites. Indeed, some say there is no place on earth like Crete. This view is strongly supported by those fortunate enough to have visited the island. Crete, with a population of approximately 650,000, is not just sun, sea and sand; it is a quite distinct place full of vitality, warmth, hospitality, culture and of course an excellent infrastructure. Crete is well known for its seas and beaches but it has a very contrasting landscape.
Nea Chora Beach: It means new town, and it was the first modern part of Chania outside the venetian fortification wall. New Chora has a fishing harbour and a great beach to enjoy. You will find plenty of traditional cafes and sea food restaurants around the place. It is a great alternative to the old town because you have a beach at your doorstep, great parking place, and some of the best fish restaurants in the area.
Chania (also spelled: Haniá)is the capital city, a place where different civilizations have flourished throughout the centuries. Wandering around the Old Town’s maze-like alleys with the beautiful Venetian mansions, the fountains and the elaborate churches will help you discover well-preserved historical monuments.

Three best beaches near Chania/Crete, Greece. Teaser.
Looking for a beach in Chania? There are 3 nice beaches located not far from the city (4 km). One of them is the famous sandy Blue Flag beach of Agii Apostoli (the Holy Apostles) . Agii Apostoli (the Holy Apostles) is situated in village of Kato Daratso, only 4 kilometers west of Chania and 20 kilometers west of Chania’s International Airport, Crete.
There are frequent public transportation via bus to the center of Chania city.
There is also an ample car space where you can safely park your car.
The first cove at west is located just besides the east edge of Glaros beach. It is a beautiful sandy beach with all amenities and a large parking place nearby and easily accessed. A small peninsula is formed on the west side of the beach, which protects it from the winds. On the peninsula there is a nice park, which is ideal for walking, and the scenic chapel of the Holy Apostles after which the wider area takes its name.
A second “twin” semicircular cove is formed some meters to the east, with beautiful greenish waters and fine sand. The rock formations on the side are amazing. Beside the east end of the beach, there is a small pine grove extending to the east till Chrissi Akti.
You can access both coves by bus from Chania or by walking. Moreover, Agii Apostoli is ideal for biking, as there are wide paved road for bikes and walkers. The area has many options for accommodation, with high quality hotels around.

Chania Crete - Beaches, Food and Sunsets
The charming city of Chania, Crete. Usually full of traveling tourists and locals, Chania is a great destination if you believe that there is no life like the good life. The harbour itself is usually bustling with activity as restauranteurs pull tourists in for some tasty food choices and there are plenty of options for drink, too - whether it's a sit-down for a tasty crisp Mythos or a trendy little water-front bar, the options are aplenty.
Chania's surrounding beaches are pretty awesome, as well, ducked into the coves along the coastline on the outskirts of the city. Enjoy the crystal clear waters and the soft sands as we take a stroll through some of them.
Many boat rides are offered from the Chania harbour and we jump on one of them here, taking the 'Sunset Cruise' for some glass bottom boat sightseeing - and the sunrise is spectacular.
Sunsets, a boat ride, food and beaches - there's no life like the good life. Not too far at all from the airport, Chania has it all.
Enjoy.
