Chania (Port of Entry)

Background

Chania or Hania or Khania (Χανιά) [35° 31' N 24° 01' E] is in my opinion the most beautiful city in Crete if not the whole Aegean. It is a delightful town. The old city is very picturesque and has the inevitable souvenir stores, rooms for rent, restaurants, and jewelry stores. A whole street is devoted to leather goods. The marketplace (food) is amazing; it is crowded with small and a large stores selling anything from meat, wines, dried fruits, to herbs, chocolates, fruits, breads, pastries, fish, flowers, etc.

Chania is the site of the Minoan settlement the Greeks called Cydonia, Greek for quince. It also flourished after the Dorian Greeks settled on Crete.
