Serviced Apartments in Chania

Chania, the second largest city in Crete, lies along the island’s north coast. It is sandwiched in between two of the other islands of the Greek Peninsula. The city of Chania is divided into two parts: the old town and the modern city. The modern city is larger than the old town.

The old town is located next to the old harbour and visitors staying in Chania short stay apartments will find the ancient harbour to be distinctive in its own right. Chania's Old Town is considered to be the most attractive urban district Crete has to offer. The central part of the old town, referred to as Kasteli, is located on a small hill next to the seafront.

The main square of the Old Town is the Eleftherios Venizelos Square. This is the centre of the touristic activities in the area and the majority of visitors choose to rent Chania serviced residence around here. Adjacent to this square is the Topanas district which is highly picturesque, boasting narrow alleyways and charming old buildings, some of which have been restored as restaurants, bars and shops. The nightlife here is quiet yet atmospheric. This means that while you will find adequate entertainment of an evening, you should benefit from a sound night’s sleep in your Chania holiday lets.

The modern part of Chania is where the majority of the locals reside. Unsurprising, it is less traditional in comparison to the Old Town yet offers areas of charming beauty and historical interest. Visitors to Chania will find its cultural background to be rich and there are numerous museums and art galleries within the city. The Archaeological Museum of Chania, located in Saint Francis Monastery, houses exhibits from across the county. In addition to the Archaeological Museum, the Folklore Museum and the Nautical Museum of Crete, both of which are found in the Old Town, are popular with visitors.
