Chania is a great introduction to Cretan history and all the island has to offer! Its monuments span over 5,000 years, from Minoan houses and streets dating back to 3,500 BC to the Byzantine, Arab, and Venetian walls, impressive arsenali (shipyards), mansions and cisterns of the Renaissance, Ottoman mosques and hamams of the early modern era, as well as modern structures such as the Agora, a covered market inaugurated in 1913.
