If you visit Chania you are most likely to spend long hours in the old part of the town and mostly in the Venetian Harbour, the trademark and most picturesque part of Chania.
The old part of the town is located just behind the harbor with many narrow alleys and old charming buildings, some of which have been restored as restaurants, shops and bars. This makes it a lively and colourful place especially during the warm period (April - October).
In the winter, it still remains a center of activities (especially for nightlife) but in a more quiet and atmospheric way.
