Wine in Crete

Image
The wine has known around 4000 years of systematic cultivation in Crete! No wonder that the oldest winepress ( 3500  years old)  was found in the region of Vathipetro. Homer informs us  that, at his time, Cretan wines were renowned throughout the known world. This tradition, however, would not bear fruit without knowledge and  technology. Cretan winemakers took recent advancements, but also the consumers preferences, seriously into account. This largely due to the existence of a new generation of winemakers, enologists, viticulturists, etc. who are trying to improve all aspects of Cretan wine with knowledge, vision, and passion. New varieties are being tested, and new aromas and flavors are emerging, presenting the consumer with fine wines, which can satisfy all tastes and needs. Making good use of traditional vine varieties and age - old experience,modern wine producers in Crete have managed to elevate Cretan wine to its rightful position. Discover cretan win...

Chania Municipal Market (Agora)

Image
Chania Municipal Market was built in 1913 as vegetable, fish and meat market for the city of Chania.  It officially opened to the public 3 days after the union of the island of Crete with Greece. The architect, Konstantinos Drandakis, built the market where the mortar of the southern venetian walls were. This is evident by the difference of height between the north and south entrance to the building. During the Nazi occupation, most of the marketplace was used as a storage space for the German army. Today, although there are some shops selling local products, there are also many souvenir stores.  Chania Municipal Market is considered today as one of the most important tourist attractions. Entrance is free.

Fort Firca

Image
During the end of the Venetian occupation in Crete, the expansion of the Ottoman Turks led the Venetians to the fortification of Crete by fortresses. The fort is still known today by its Turkish name, Firca (Firka = barracks) and was built in order to protect the entrance of the harbour.  The positions of the cannons on the northern side of the fortress, which looks at the entrance of the harbor, are so far visible on the outer side of the wall. A thick chain from Firca to the base of the light-house closed the harbour in case of siege. The fort was the headquarters of the Military Commander of the city. The inside area was divided into barracks and ammunition warehouses. The buildings of the west wing have two-floors with dome covered rooms. Over the door of the first floor there is the following inscription : “ALOYSIUS BRAGADEUS PROVISOR CYDONIAE M. DCXX”. In the centre of the court, there is a large water reservoir, where the water running from the roofs was collecte...

Chania Old Town

The Chania Old Town  is regarded as one of the nicest old towns of Greece and all over Europe and it is the most interesting part of the city. The "Old Town" consists of the old Venetian harbour and the small Venetian blocks located behind the harbour; it is characterized by narrow and picturesque alleys - similar to an enchanting labyrinth - full of life, and the plentiful remaining Venetian and Turkish buildings. The Lighthouse, the Fortress of Firka, the Mosque of Kioutsouk Hasan, the Great Arsenal and the Neoria have become landmarks of the beautiful old town. Most of the buildings are rejuvenated and they compose a puzzle of contemporary, Byzantine, Venetian and Turkish architecture; they are also a 'living' exhibition of the town's history. Today they work as shops, tavernas, cafes and touristic accommodations. The most famous part of the Old Town is the lively round waterfront along the Venetian harbour, which is full of small bout...
