In the west of the island, lies the charming town of Chania. Although it was partially destroyed by bombing during World War II, it still attracts crowds of tourists every year with its beauty.

Agios Nikolaos

On the east of the island is the town of Agios Nikolaos, famous for its numerous beaches. In the center of the town is the curious Vulisméni Lake, known as "bottomless". Of course, this is just a name, but a justified one: the bottom is 64 meters deep. The main marina is located to the south of the city and from there, you can take a nice boat ride to the island of Agioi Pantes.

Heraklion
