Welcome to beautiful Chania, a heavenly and pure land brimming with
natural beauty, history, memory and culture. It is a land whose visitors
will experience nature in all its glory and will encounter breathtaking
sights.
Endless stretches of seashore bordered in frothy lace, inlets and islands of
exotic beauty and sandy beaches tucked away at the foot of forbidding
mountains. Impenetrable but yet such majestic gorges, holy caves, blessed
rivers and lush, green plains thickly covered with olive and citrus trees.
Ιt is a self-sufficient land in every way that is rich in endemic and rare
flora and fauna
The works of art produced by man will also not leave any visitor
indifferent. He will bow with awe in respect for the intimidating remains of
past civilizations which still stand proud, examples of creative spirit and
signs of human futility, vigorous warriors of bitter and ravenous time. He
will relive moments of legend, history and glory since memories of the past
will awaken and resurrect themselves in his passing. Here he will satiate
his hunger for colour and aroma, he will savour original and unique tastes,
he will overhear stories about experiences taken from the passion and wisdom
of a people whose roots and endurance are embedded deep in history. He will
live intense contrasts and feelings, he will juxtapose the old with the new
and he will respect modern life through the eyes of wisdom gained from
tradition. Perhaps most importantly, the visitor will encounter a people who
recognize life's gifts and value. The Cretan soul will infuse him with the
feeling of true hospitality and will leave him mesmerized and forever
partial to its beauty.
