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.
