Greece - Municipality of Chania
The Prefecture of Chania is the western most division of the island of Crete. The Prefecture of Rethymno forms its eastern border, whilst sea lap its remaining areas. The inhabited islands of Gavdos and Gavdopoula, which are located at a distance of 20 miles south from Chania, in Liviko Sea, also come under Chania.
The major cities of the prefecture are Chania, the capital of the prefecture, and Kastelli in Kisamos. Among the most important villages are Paleochora and Kantanos in Selino, the Chora of Sfakion in Sfakia. The Prefecture of Chania provides tourist services and activities of all kinds, satisfying all the choices. The city of Chania maintains unaltered all of its characteristics, from the time of the Venetian Rule up until today. The White Mountains, that are towered behind Chania and sink into the Liviko Sea in Sfakia, have a lot of gorges and ravines for nature lovers or enthusiastic climbers. The sandy beaches and the crystal clear waters in Falasarna, in Paleochora and in Georgoupolis are ideal for swimming. The Minoan, the Roman, the Byzantine and the Turkish archaeological sites are particularly attractive for those interested in cultural and historical explorations and information.
Un unforgettable experience is crossing the gorge of Samaria -on foot- as well as the journey that follows up to the Chora of Sfakia by boat.
The economy of the Prefecture of Chania is rural. The fertile flat plain and the good climate offer a rich agricultural production. The most important products are olive oil, grapes, wine, citrus fruits and trees and particularly citrons and raisins.
