The old town's lived-in square, where plane trees, raki bars and Cretan mezedes set an unhurried pace.

9 Mekane

Venetian, refined, harbour-side

8 Mekane

Breezy, seafront, casual-local

Koum Kapi (Chania)

A breezy seafront strip by the old Sabbionara gate, where locals come for coffee, sundowners and small plates by the water.

5 Mekane

Faded-grand, industrial-romantic, quiet

Tabakaria / Halepa (Chania)

Neoclassical Halepa uphill and the old seaside tanneries below, a quietly reviving stretch of architecture, cafés and sea views.

5 Mekane

Green, rural, hearth-cooked Cretan

Apokoronas & Drakona (Chania)

Green stone-village country east of Chania, where wood-fired lamb, village tavernas and Lake Kournas make lunch the main event.
