Chania Crete Greece | Virtual City Tour On A Rainy Day 4K

Chania is a great town for just walking around. It has a gorgeous harbor front. Try starting in the harbor’s eastern edge in the marina, where the venetian boat yards are and maybe have your eye on a dockside taverna for later. If you are up to it you can walk out to the Egyptian lighthouse from here but definitely do this before dark because it can be a little bumpy. From the lighthouse you have a great view (and photos!) of the main harbor.
Then explore the main harbor. The waterfront has some of the more touristy restaurants, but the back alleys are magical. Some restaurants are in the picturesque ruins of old houses, open to the starry skies above.
By day, you won’t want to miss the Agora – the traditional covered marketplace – which opened in 1913. You will find some gifts and shops clearly catering to tourists, but for the most part this is what it has always been, a play for people to get their olives and cheeses, their fresh meats, produce, and their just-caught fish. If you like edible souvenirs, herbs are always a good choice and you can also try coarse salt or shrink-packed olives.

There is an Archaeological Museum in a gorgeous location- the Monastery of St. Francis. It features Minoan and Roman artifacts. The Nautical museum is also interesting because of the city’s fascinating maritime history.

The Public Garden – just in from the Agora’s main entrance. There is an elegant small mansion that serves as a cafe, and there are white peacocks and goats which make it a nice visit with children. Do you like the cinema? The open air cinema is also here in a fragrant garden. Movies are screened in their original language with Greek Subtitles (except for childrens’ films, which are generally dubbed).

Locals love Kalo Chori- the marina and beach just west of the port. You’ll find a fine city beach and some charming tavernas here.
