We invite you to experience the genuine Cretan hospitality in Chania. Share your table with the local people and listen to their stories. Get to know their customs and their ethics. Embrace their warm hospitality, sometimes expressed by a treat of raki, wine or "mezze" and sometimes by a lavish meal in humble households. The people of Chania will welcome you with love, they will share their lives with you and they will make you feel right at home. Cultura A first-time visitor to Chania is surprised by the great number of buildings and monuments on which can be 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. During the summer period a variety of cultural events take place on a daily basis. Theatrical plays, concerts and several exhibitions from Greek and foreign artists are organized either by the municipality or by individuals. A venue which hosts many of these events is a theater located in the east bulwark of the Old Town "Anatoliki Tafros". Also, several festivals, conferences or sport events take place in Chania especially between May and September. The Venizeleia athletics competition is one of the most noteworthy events of the year. Shopping Chania is the main shopping centre for all of western Crete. Stroll in the narrow lanes of its Old Town to discover numerous interesting small shops. The town has a useful covered market and fascinating specialist shopping streets to explore. In Chania’s Old Town, many of the lanes are crammed with enticing little shops, some selling tourist knick-knacks and souvenirs, others with better merchandise such as imaginative gold and silver jewellery. Good buys from around €7 include crochet bags and beadwork, local rugs and kilims and authentic Greek bath sponges. Don’t miss narrow Skridlof Street, a traditional leatherworkers’ lane where bargains include high quality handmade goods such as handbags, purses, shoes and sandals. There’s also a metalworkers’ lane, Sifaka Street. Where Old Town and modern city meet, the fine Covered Market, or Agora (Mousouron street) is the focal point of the town. More a shopping mall than a marketplace, it provides a cool haven where locals throng among shops and stalls offering every kind of local produce, alluring pastries, piles of olives, fragrant herbs and spices, and appetising cheeses like delicious Cretan graviera and mizithra.   Hotels Porto Veneziano Hotel is located on the waterfront of the venetian harbour in the Old Town of Chania, only 300m from the center of the city and 1500m from the nearest organized beach. Our hotel is one of the best Chania hotels, fully equipped, comfortable and privileged by its location. It offers a solid commitment of quality and value. Porto Veneziano consists of 51 carefully decorated rooms and 6 luxurious suites, offering a panoramic view to the picturesque harbour, the old town, or the White mountains of Crete.
