Chania is the second largest city of Crete, situated on the northwest of the island and the most evocative of the island. The city is divided in two parts: the old town and the modern city. Venetian and Turkish influence marks the Old Town. A Venetian quarter of atmospheric streets lead to a unique harbor. Some of the Venetian tower-houses have been restored to host boutique hotels and fine restaurants. The former mosque on the harbour adds to the charm of the city. Chania has some of the finest restaurants of an island that boasts for its cuisine. Spending a few days on the Old Town is totally rewarding. Consider it also as a transit point before you trek the Samaria Gorge.

 

The lagoon of Balos has white sand and exotic white, vivid blue and turquoise waters. The sea is very shallow and warm, ideal for young children. In many places the sand has a lovely pinkish color, because of millions of crushed shells. Beyond the rocks at the boundaries of the lagoon, the water is deeper and colder, ideal for a snorkeling. The lagoon and the wider area, with rare species of flora and fauna, are protected under the Natura 2000 program.
