The Venetian, Turkish, traditional and modern architecture coexist in harmony in the beautiful city of Chania, creating a unique attraction for the visitors. Archeological sites, temples, plateaus and unique buildings adorn the charming Municipality of Chania.

In 1964, the city of Chania was declared a historical monument by the State and since then there have been many efforts to preserve and project its historical character. The main goal of the program is the preservation of all the historical monuments of the city, the projection of the local culture and the upgrading of the quality of life of the residents. Despite the intense development of the last few decades, the interventions, the disasters and the impositions of modern architecture, the old city managed to preserve its historical character to a large degree.
