Chania (Hania) is the second largest city of Crete and the capital of the Chania Prefecture. It lies along the north coast of the island, about 70 km west of Rethymno and 145 km west of Heraklion.
The official population of the municipal area is 53,000 but some 70,000 people live in the greater area of Chania. Its unique geographical position is responsible for Crete being able to boast an incredible variety of flora, many of which are endemic with Asiatic and African relationships.
Chania is divided into two parts - the New Town which is where the day to day business of the Chania goes on, with shops and offices, the post office and banks, the renowned indoor market and the bus station - and the Old Town, built around the Venetian harbor with numerous picturesque narrow streets and architecture showing the influence of decades of foreign domination.
