There is so much to see in and around Chania.

In 1990 Mr Khavaledakis from Kalyves started on a small project in which he built some furniture by using only small stones. He kept on going, and these days that is known as the Koumos. Koumos is a beautiful place in which everything is build by hand and most of it still by using small stones. It is also a restaurant/taverna. The Koumos is located in Kalyves, right outside the village itself.

An old photo I found on a slide here and scanned. It's the harbour of Chania in 1989. I really think those fishing boats added something to it back then. They can still be found, but not in this part of the harbour.

I have added a page with 3D anaglyphs of Chania and surroundings. To view these images you need red/cyan(blue) glasses.
The method is old, but it's still a unique way of seeing Chania in 3D. All images are made out of 2 seperate photo's to create real 3D photos.

The monastery of Agia Triada means Holy Trinity. The monastery is a feast for your senses.
It was built in the 17th century by Venetian monks(2 brothers), on top of another church that was destroyed. The style however is not Venetian, but more Byzantine. The monastery contains 3 large domes, a chapel and a courtyard. Photo's are prohibited inside the chapel, but there is enough to see and take photos besides the chapel

One of the best things to see when you are in Chania, is the old Venetian harbor of Chania itself. Encyclopedia’s write different stories of when it was built. It can already be seen on painting from the early 17th century.
It is surrounded by dozens of bars and restaurants, which add to the already great atmosphere. Around and near the harbor are the old ruins of the Byzantine, Turkish and Venetian empires. It’s ruins can be seen between the restaurants, appartments and shops.
