Muslims resided mainly in the eastern quarters, Kastelli and Splantzia, where they converted the Dominican church of St Nicholas into the central Sovereign's Mosque (Turkish: Hünkar Camısı).They also built new mosques such as the Küçük Hasan Pasha Mosque or Yali Mosque on the harbour. Public baths (hamam), and fountains were a feature of the Ottoman city. The pasha of Crete resided in Chania. (wikipedia)

Chania Marina and Fishing Harbor

Highlight • Structure

Small romantic harbor with yachts, fishing and excursion boats protected by a long high wall that ends at the harbor entrance with the Chania lighthouse. Fresh fish and all sorts of souvenirs are sold directly from the boat at the mooring points. Charter boats for sightseeing, sailing and fishing trips are available on site.

View of Chania's Old Venetian Harbor

Highlight • Viewpoint

The harbor wall of the old Venetian port is accessible and the old Egyptian lighthouse is a real feast for the eyes during the day and also in the evening, at night in the dark when it shines brightly pink. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Crete was under Venetian, Byzantine rule before it was annexed to the 🇬🇷 Empire in 1913.

April 4, 2023,Chania, Stadtspaziergang

Today we went to Chania. This has been my favorite city so far. It is the second largest city in Crete and the old town has been largely preserved. We wanted to visit the Minoan ship along the harbor promenade, with many taverns and shops, with a view of the lighthouse - unfortunately it is closed this summer. Then we …

Conclusion of our Crete discovery: A short city tour of Chania. Komoot is once again bouncing around the alleys, and I'm still wondering how we got to 110m below zero 🤫🙄😙🤞. And according to Komoot, we also hiked across the water: je suis Jesus... 😂
Every alley is interesting and different. Unfortunately, the Maritime Museum was closed due to a …

We have already been to Crete this year and we also know Chania quite well, so we were able to start the day very relaxed. We took the bus to the old town and walked through the old town and to the beach. After a swim break we went back. A relaxing day in a beautiful city.
