Situated on the north western part of Crete, Chania or Hania is a wonderful mix of east and west and has wonderful architectural legacies of firstly the Venetians who arrived around 1300 and stayed for 400 years and then the Turks who ruled the city for 250 years after that. Crete is Greece’s largest island and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean.
