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, vastolive and orange groves and a combination of wild landscapes and sea, it excites eventhe hardest–to–please visitor. In the mountainous inner region, it hosts villages that havebeen forgotten by time, scattered churches and monasteries, towers and castles. Thewhole 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 thecountryside, 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 insummer), special Cretan diet, customs that elsewhere tend to become forgotten andthe 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 onwhich can be found traces of its great history and rich civilisation. The old town, on and aroundthe hill of Kasteli, was built upon the ruins of Minoan Kydonia and is surrounded by theByzantine wall, the Venetian wall and the sea.The Minoan civilisation left behind grand tombs, interesting ceramics and objects. During itsoccupation by the Venetians and the Turks, people of different nationality, culture and religionco–existed. Christians (Catholic and Orthodox), Jews and Muslims, have left discernible tracesand produced particularly interesting creations.In the neighbourhood of Topanas with its narrow paved streets, the visitor meets Venetianmanors 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 theFrancheskan Monks (15th – 17th cent. AD) which hosts the Byzantine collection of Chania. The collection of ILAEK 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 folkloremuseum (Cretan house) and the church of St. Frangiskos. The church hosts the town’sarchaeological 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 KiuchoukHasan (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 VenetianArchives. 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 leathergoods. Next to that is the building of Chrisostomos and the new public Art Gallery. In theold Turkish neighbourhood Splantzia is the square of the former monastery of St.Nicholas (1204) with a bell–tower and minaret. The small church of the period ofenlightenment’s of St. Rokkos (1630) can also be found there. Near that is the church ofSt. 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 FrenchSchool (1860), the church of St. Magdalea (1903) and the church of Evangelismou. From later periods the followingplaces 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 andfriendship of people, the court house, the prefecture, the Venizelion School of Music, the Historic Archives Museum, theWar 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 SofoclesVenizelos. 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.

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 coastalzone, with beaches 415 km long, is richer and more densely populated. The sparsely populated inner territory is one ofthe 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, withtheir 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 Unionpromotes, with the programme “Leader”, sojourns at rustic tourists’ shelters. In places like Vamos, Milia, Keramia, Kasteli,Askifou, Spilia, etc. it is possible for the tourist to enjoy the Cretan simple and natural life, to enjoy the Cretan diet with aglass 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 Chaniaconsists of protected areas for hunting, national parks and natural habitats (lake of Ayia,

lake of Kournas, islands of Gavdos and Gavdopoula, Elafonissi, etc.) which areprotected 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 anabundance of endemic plants which grow only there.

The grandest gorge in Europe, the Samaria gorge, starts at the tableland of Omalosand 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 andcave explorers, there are many well–loved destinations in the county of Chania, such asthe 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 localmountaineering clubs (Greek Mountaineering Club of Chania, 90 Tzanakaki str.,

open late evenings, tel. 28210 44647).

The climate and the configuration of the land make the county of Chania a paradise for thousands of plants and animals.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 localshops. 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 andelsewhere, 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 toprotect an area on the north shores of the county especially for the turtles (caretta–caretta) that live there.
