Highlights
- A popular, family-friendly seaside town
- The 16th-century lighthouse boasts Venetian, Egyptian, and Ottoman influences
- Take a romantic walk along the pier and check out the Nautical Museum
At the heart of Chania, Greece, is its old town, where you can get lost down any of the narrow, labyrinthine alleyways, which date from different periods.
Stay in one of the many trendy hotels in the old town, and then take a romantic sunset stroll out to the pier and 14th-century Venetian harbor to be treated with a dazzling view of the sun setting against the sea. Then, head to one of the many cozy restaurants and bars for good, hearty food.
