Crete – Chania

Crete is the largest island in Greece and will require many posts to cover.  This post will cover Chania and Kolymbari which is about 20 km away.

Chania is picture-perfect.  It is considered one of the most beautiful places in all of Greece.  From the old Venetian port to the winding charming streets, Chania is full of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and charming small boutique hotels.
