The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared,
Merrily did we drop
Below the kirk, below the hill,
Below the lighthouse top

A sightseeing vessel that features "sunset cruises" takes a full deck of tourists asea for their optimum view to behold another postcard perfect Cretan sunset.
This ancient lighthouse has towered above Venetian Harbor within the Old Town of Chania since the late 16th century. Located on the western end and along the northern coast, Chania is one of the largest and oldest cities of the Greek island of Crete.
The Chania Old Venetian port and Arab lighthouse are key landmarks that should definitely be included in your tour!

STREET ART seen while Walking around Splantzia Square // a former Turkish neighborhood of Chania town, in the eastern part of the Old Town. It is one of the most historic places in the town and it was renamed "Square 1821 " in honor of the events that took place there during the Greek Revolution. Splantzia Square is a unique place that bears great cultural and historic value. It combines Venetian and Ottoman elements of architecture and it is a perfect example of the multicultural historic background of Chania Town. Although it is not as popular as the Venetian port, the area has been gaining more attention and developing rapidly over the past few years. Many historic mansions have been renovated and several cafes, bars and restaurants have opened near the Square, allowing it to emerge as an important part of the alternative nightlife scene of Chania.
