The prefecture of Hania is one of the four prefectures of Crete and it covers the west part of
the island.
It is mainly a mountainous region but it is also characterized by velvet beaches, particularly on its south part, where it meets the Libyan Sea. The prefecture of Chania constitutes a special place, which offers amazing natural beauties and also various comforts, without spoiling its physiognomy.

The capital of the prefecture is the romantic, hospitable and very beautiful town of Chania. It is a town built on the sea, which combines in a particularly picturesque way old with modern architecture.
During your touring of the prefecture of Chania, we suggest that you visit Akrotiri, which is only 15 km from the town of Hania. From there you can enjoy a spectacular sunset as well as a panoramic view of the town of Chania. Other interesting spots in the prefecture are the ancient town Aptera and the traditional villages Vamos, Gavalohori and Kefala. Also, don't forget to visit Paleohora, a place that will offer you many historic information as well as a wonderful tour through green landscapes and picturesque little villages.


In this beautiful place you will have the opportunity to enjoy the longest and most impressive gorge in Europe, the famous Samaria gorge. In Frangocastello stands a venetian castle, while in Sfakia you can learn about the glorious local traditions. Lissos is famous for its therapeutic mineral water spa and Souyia for its long history. Finally, Platanias, Agia Marina, Kasteli Kissamou and others are particularly developed in tourism and amazingly beautiful regions.

For all of those who adore sports there are various clubs you can visit during your stay.
Those who visit Chania are enchanted by this place and leave taking with them wonderful memories. But they also know that they will return again the next summer.
