Description of Old Town Chania:
Despite being heavily bombed during World War II Chania's Old
Town is considered the most beautiful urban district on Crete,
especially the crumbling Venetian harbour. The borders of the Old
Town are the mostly destroyed old Venetian wall (and bulwarks) and
this has been the cradle of all the civilizations which were
developed in the area. The central part of the old town is named
Kasteli and has been inhabited since Neolithic times. It is located
on a small hill right next to the seafront and has always been the
ideal place for a settlement due to its secure position, its
location next to the harbour and its proximity to the fertile
valley in the south. Nowadays it is a bit more quiet than the
neighboring areas of the west part of the district. The Splantzia
quarter (next to the east part of Kasteli) is also largely
untouched and very atmospheric. A plan for its future development
is now being under consideration.
The main square of the Old Town (next to the west end of
Kasteli) is the Eleftherios Venizelos Square ("Syntrivani"). It is
the heart of the touristic activities in the area. Next to this (on
the west side) lies the Topanas district, which used to be the
Christian part of the city during the Turkish occupation. Its name
comes from the Venetian ammunition warehouse (Top-Hane in Turkish),
which was located there. The Jewish quarter ("Evraiki" or
"Ovraiki") was located at the north-west of the Old Town, behind
the harbour and within the borders of Topanas. The whole Topanas
area is generally very picturesque, with many narrow alleys and old
charming buildings, some of which have been restored as hotels,
restaurants, shops and bars. This makes it a lively and colorful
place especially during the warm period (April-October). In the
winter, it still remains a center of activities (especially for
nightlife) but in a more quiet and atmospheric way.
Finally, a very distinctive area of the Old Town is the harbour
itself and generally the seafront ("akti"). Akti Tompazi, Akti
Kountouriotou and Akti Enoseos (marina) all feature several
historical buildings and a thriving nightlife. The main street that
combines the modern town with the old town is Halidon Str.
