Hotels in Old Town, Chania

Old Town Chania sits on the eastern side of the city's harbor — its Venetian and Turkish architectural heritage defines the waterfront. The core is built around the Venetian Harbor, constructed between 1320 and 1356, and includes landmarks like the Egyptian Lighthouse and the Mosque of the Janissaries.

Narrow alleys (known as 'splantzias') connect the harbor to the old Jewish Quarter and the Topanas district. The area is a dense network of museums, artisan shops, and traditional tavernas, all within walking distance of the central market and main ferry port.
