Luxury holidays in Chania

Chania is chock-full of ancient Greek history, Mediaeval architecture and opulent mansions; the postcard-pretty Venetian port is the most famous (and often photographed) spot in the town. Once a Minoan settlement, Chania Town is now host to sun-seeking tourists and white sand beaches.

When to go

Chani's Mediterranean climate means sunny dry summers and mild rainy winters; clear skies are a safe bet from April to October, and wilting heat waves are fairly uncommon.
