THE COUNTY OF CHANIA The county of Chania, the most western part of Crete, is characterized by its unique beauty. With its endless sandy beaches, gorges, caves, endemic plants and animals, vast olive and orange groves and a combination of wild landscapes and sea, it excites even the hardest–to–please visitor. In the mountainous inner region, it hosts villages that have been forgotten by time, scattered churches and monasteries, towers and castles. The whole area is a particularly interesting archaeological site and a paradise for wandering, mountain climbing and sports. Excavations, both in the town of Chania and in the countryside, have proven the existence of residences from prehistoric times to today. The mild Mediterranean climate (with temperatures around 12 oC in winter and 30 oC in summer), special Cretan diet, customs that elsewhere tend to become forgotten and the whole–hearted hospitality of the islanders, win over the visitor, to this blessed place.

CULTURAL TOUR OF THE TOWN OF CHANIA A first–time visitor to Chania is surprised by the great number of buildings and monuments on which can be found traces of its great history and rich civilisation. The old town, on and around the hill of Kasteli, was built upon the ruins of Minoan Kydonia and is surrounded by the Byzantine wall, the Venetian wall and the sea. The Minoan civilisation left behind grand tombs, interesting ceramics and objects. During its occupation by the Venetians and the Turks, people of different nationality, culture and religion co–existed. Christians (Catholic and Orthodox), Jews and Muslims, have left discernible traces and produced particularly interesting creations. In the neighbourhood of Topanas with its narrow paved streets, the visitor meets Venetian manors with elaborately decorated facades and Turkish houses with architectural protrusions.

There we can find Fort Firkas, the Naval Museum and the church of San Salvatore of the Francheskan Monks (15th – 17th cent. AD) which hosts the Byzantine collection of Chania. The collection of πL∞∂∫ and many shops offering traditional handicrafts can also be found there. In the old Jewish neighbourhood there is the synagogue and on Halidon street the folklore museum (Cretan house) and the church of St. Frangiskos. The church hosts the town’s archaeological museum and houses treasures from the Minoan to the Hellenistic period. Opposite there is the Metropolitan temple of Isodia (representation of the Virgin Mary) with its exquisite hagiographies and close to that are the old Turkish baths. In the area of Sintrivani, around the homonymous square, there is the mosque of Kiuchouk Hasan (1645) and opposite that the quay with the Venetian lighthouse. A little further away, 7 out of the original 17 docks (Neoria) can be found (14th–16th cent. AD). Eye-capturing is the Great Arsenal, which today is used as a convention and exhibition centre.

Along the harbour, small cafeterias and restaurants create an inviting atmosphere. On the hill of Kasteli there are still parts of the old Rector’s palace and its court and the engraving on a lintel over a door reminds us of the existence of Venetian Archives. Near there, the excavation of ancient Kydonia and the ruins of the church of St. Maria of Mirakoli (1615) are located. At the “stivanadika”, which is still characterised by Eastern features, one can buy leather goods. Next to that is the building of Chrisostomos and the new public Art Gallery. In the old Turkish neighbourhood Splantzia is the square of the former monastery Ôf St. Nicholas (1204) with a bell–tower and minaret. The small church of the period of enlightenment’s of St. Rokkos (1630) can also be found there. Near that is the church of St. Anargyroi (16th cent. AD) with its priceless hagiographies and St. Catherine’s church. Outside the walls, to the east of the old town, we come across Koum–Kapi where during the last years of the Turkish occupation, Beduins built a village. Today the area is a favourite meeting place for young people.

In the neighbourhood of Halepa there is the palace of Prince George, the house of Eleftherios Venizelos, the French School (1860), the church of St. Magdalea (1903) and the church of Evangelismou. From later periods the following places are of interest: the manor “Villa Koundourou”, a workshop of fine arts and a youth centre, the municipal park (1870) with its clock, the market (built 1913, cross–shaped building with hundreds of small shops), the park of peace and friendship of people, the court house, the prefecture, the Venizelion School of Music, the Historic Archives Museum, the War Museum and the Museum of Chemistry. In the neighbourhoods outside the walls there are many neoclassical buildings with beautiful gardens which smell of hyacinth, honey suckle and rose trees. At the border of the town with the cape (Akrotiri) are the graves of Eleftherios and Sofocles Venizelos. The town of Chania, the first capital of Crete, kept its historical heritage of so many centuries almost unaffected. Its atmosphere attracted scientists, philosophers, poets and artists of different origins and it became a cultural centre.

∞RCHAELOGY IN THE DISTRICT OF CHANIA The district of Chania is rich in ancient towns and monuments from all periods of civilisation. Proof of this are the Minoan tombs in Maleme and Kournas as well as towns such as Aptera, Lissos, Polirrinia, Eliros, Irtakina and Falassarna. Greek–roman monuments such as the bridge of Vrisses, the town Mithimn and the sacred Dictyna (where the goddess Vritomartys was worshipped) are some of the places that await any interested visitor.
CHURCHES AND MONASTERIES A priceless treasure in churches (over 300 Byzantine), mountain churches and important monasteries can be found scattered around the county of Chania. Here one can experience an unrepeatable religious experience or conduct research in relation to Byzantine art or religious architecture. Splendid churches with wonderful frescoes, partly by masters of Byzantine hagiography like I. Pagomenos, portray the importance of this place. The visitor can, among other things, visit the church of St. George in Komitades in Sfakia (1314), St. Nikolas in the convent of Selino (1315), the Archangel Michael in Kavalarian Kandanos (1328), the Mother of God in Kakodiki Selino (1332), the church of St. Nikolas in Kiriakoselia, the Rotonda in Episkopi in Kissamos, the Mother of God in Stylos (12th cent), the Royal church from the first Byzantine period in Sougia and many more. Many important monasteries can be found in Chania. Some of them are the Holy Trinity of Tzagarolon and the Gouverneto in Akrotiri, the convent of Gonia in Kolymbari, the convent of Chrissoskalitissa near Elafonissi and the women’s monastery of Chrissopigi in Mournies.

THE MOUNTAINOUS INNER DISTRICT – A WANDERER’S PARADISE The county of Chania is divided by the Lefka Ori mountains into two completely different natural landscapes. The coastal zone, with beaches 415 km long, is richer and more densely populated. The sparsely populated inner territory is one of the most authentic parts of Crete. On most of its mountain tops, temperatures are below zero and from December to May they are covered with snow. On the mountain slopes there are many small traditional villages, forgotten by time, with their stone houses turned towards the sun, certainly interesting “green” destinations of Crete. Day after day, more and more wanderers try to explore them on foot, by jeep, horse or bicycle. The European Union promotes, with the programme “Leader”, sojourns at rustic tourists’ shelters. In places like Vamos, Milia, Keramia, Kasteli, ∞skifou, Spilia, etc. it is possible for the tourist to enjoy the Cretan simple and natural life, to enjoy the Cretan diet with a glass of wine or tsikoudia, to take part in celebrations and to feel the roots of European civilisation. Hospitable shelters, establishments for spending your free time and shops with handmade carpets, fine jewellery, embroidery, traditional furniture, ceramics and home–made products (cheese, noodles, marmelades, etc.) of excellent quality guarantee an unforgettable stay.

GORGES – CAVES Due to its special flora and fauna, a large part of the natural environment of Chania consists of protected areas for hunting, national parks and natural habitats (lake of Ayia, lake of Kournas, islands of Gavdos and Gavdopoula, Elafonissi, etc.) which are protected by “Natura 2000”. Protected species, such as the Cretan goat and the vulture–eagle, live at the National Park of the gorge of Samaria and there is an abundance of endemic plants which grow only there. The grandest gorge in Europe, the Samaria gorge, starts at the tableland of Omalos and is 16 km long and from 3 to 300 m wide. Crossing of the gorge, which lasts about 4 to 5 hours, is allowed from May to September. For wanderers, mountain climbers and cave explorers, there are many well–loved destinations in the county of Chania, such as the gorge of St. Irene in Selino, Imbros in Sfakia, Aradaina, Therisso etc. and more than 1500 caves and sea caves. The most interesting ones are those of Apokoronas (Samonas, Kournas, Melidoni etc), of St. John and the Bearcave near the convent of Gouverneto. Hospitable shelters, mounted like birds’ nests on mountain peaks, await mountain climbers and wanderers. Information can be obtained from local mountaineering clubs (Greek Mountaineering Club of Chania, 90 Tzanakaki str., open late evenings, tel. 28210 44647).

Lilys of the sea (pancratium maritimum), lavdano (lavdanum), cyclamen (cyclamen creticum), Cretan tulips (tulipa cretica), maple (acer creticus). The endemic and unique dittany (origanum dictamum), malotira (fideritis cretica) and matzourana (origanum maiorana), are medicinal boiling plants which are abundant. On the plain of Omalos you can find stamnagathi (cihorium spinosum). Dried or freshly cut, these special medicinal herbs can be found in the Public Market or local shops. Over 1742 unique Cretan plants can also be found, 10% of which exist only in the county of Chania. The proud Cretan beast (capra aegagrus cretica) lives freely only in the Samaria Gorge. There and elsewhere, you can see Cretan eagles (aquila chrysaetos) and partridges (alectoris chukar). Ferrets, skunks, weasels, hares, hawks etc. can also be seen in open places. There is also an endeavour to protect an area on the north shores of the county especially for the turtles (caretta–caretta) that live there.

CRETAN DIET The traditional cuisine is based on excellent quality natural products, while the taste of the delicacies is not altered by excessive spices. Main ingredients of the Cretan diet are virgin olive oil, wild greens, vegetables, beans, peas and lentils, fish, meat, sea food, wine and tsikoudia! To these a large variety of cheeses, especially “Cretan graviera”, “athotiro” and “mizithra”, are added. Yoghurt, honey, freshly–squeezed orange juice and various fruits complete this precious and healthy diet.
