Chania is a unique city
bearing a rich and long history and culture. Its name is often
glorified in historical documents as the city raised brave soldiers,
groundbreaking politicians, intellectuals and artists. It is
considered the city of Justice and Freedom and its rare beauty
justifies its characterization as the "Venice of the East". The city
of Chania was a crossroad between the East and the West for many
centuries, and for this reason it was claimed by its enemies and
suffered the presence of many conquerors.
