AREA
that made the island the centre of its sea based trading empire
as early as 2000 BC. Almost everywhere that you travel on the island you will come across reminders of its rich heritage.
But it is also the home of dramatic, almost Alpine landscapes dominated in the west by the appropriately named White Mountains, which sweep down to the fertile plains by the coast and are capped with snow for most of the year. Chania (Hania), located on the western part of the island,
is the first out of the four consecutive non-identical prefectures that comprise the gifted island of Crete. All North coast is a succession of friendly beaches.
and is dominated by an impressive lighthouse. The large cruciform market here sells a wide variety of local produce from fresh meat and fish to fruits, nuts, spices, wine and olive oil.
The real beauty of this area though lies away from the busier coast and up in the remote villages and hills. Take a trip out to the less well-known areas and you'll be rewarded with a glimpse of a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries
LOCATION
Chania or Hania
Carefully tailored town planning, broad roads, revitalizing parks and pedestrian zones are the characteristics of the town of Hania, the capital of the prefecture of Hania. Neo-classical mansions, the market and the remains of the Venetian and Turkish contribute to the attractive, traditional and picturesque town of Hania. Divided into the new and the old town, Hania has an interesting double profile that will enchant you.
Kato Daratsos - Kalamaki
4,5 kilometres west of Chania, this small resort boasts a number of sheltered sandy beaches.
There are a number of small local supermarkets as well as numerous tavernas scattered along the gently shelving beach. Although only 10 minutes by bus or taxi to Chania, the countryside is on your doorstep and the pretty little villages of Galatas or Daratsos will give you an authentic taste of rural Crete, especially if you visit one of their congenial local tavernas where you are guaranteed good food and spontaneous atmosphere. Previous guests have noted their experiences and useful tips for future visitors in the Villa's Guest Book.
How to get here
You can come by airplane to Chania airport (18 Km), which takes about 45 minutes, or flight to Heraklion airport (111 km), about 2 hours and 30 minutes away.
