Chania, a popular destination for Scandinavian charter trips, captivates visitors with its beautiful beaches and charming city center. The old town, a maze of historic alleys and houses, showcases centuries of architectural styles. In the new quarters, you'll find a variety of shops catering to all your needs, whether it's for hiking gear or souvenirs. Don't miss the opportunity to savor delicious Greek cuisine at the local tavernas and modern cafes, some of which stay open late into the night. The beaches, starting just a short distance from the old town, are easily accessible. The closest beach, Nea Hora, is only a 1 km walk from the western end of the Old Town.
