Chania, Greece

Chania is chock-full of ancient Greek history, Medieval 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
