Much of the old town district of Chania was developed around its harbor, which was built by the Venetians during the 14th century. Its lighthouse still proudly overlooks the Mediterranean. Here you’ll find several cinemas and historical attractions like the Archaeological Museum, a collection of Minoan and Roman artifacts that’s housed in the former Monastery of Saint Francis. Word nerds will especially enjoy the Museum of Typography.

Small and very nice shop selling jewels and ceramics, in the heart of Chania old town. Both jewels and ceramics are designed and manufactured by the owners, and reflect their culture and their high level of design sensibility. Worth while visiting even if not interested to buy, just to enjoy the sight.

Sifis is an artist that works with silver gold and gems to create, one of a kind, jewellery. He looks for inspiration mainly from plants. Every flower, every petal, every stamen is studied under his unique perspective in order to transform the raw material into jewellery.
So impressed with this store! The diamond ring I bought for my wife is impressive and the laurel leaves earrings are amazing too, she loves them. So much to choose from. Excellent quality. Unique designs. There is no sales pressure. People are very helpful and kind. In Crete, one of the best shops I'd visited during my holidays! Definetely recommended!!!

Visit our new store in the Chania Market.
It's a great store, every piece is carefully selected. For adults and children. You will find a lot of gifts from Chania. I love the handcrafted leather bags and rare designer accessories. The glasses made of wood caught my attention. Everything is amazing about this shop. Nina, the owner of the store, I enjoyed talking to her, always smiling. If you want to have something special, you should visit this store.

Sculptures handmade from bronze and aluminum, blown and fused glass, ceramics, copies from greek museums, modern jewellery in gold or silver are assembled in a 500 years old renovated building of simple aesthetic.
My friend and I discovered this shop when our cruise ship stopped at Chania. This shop is wonderful. There are lovely Ancient Greek and Minoan replicas, very nice quality jewelry pieces, and other works of art by Greek artists. It is several steps above a souvenir shop. We actually went twice. If I visit Chania again I will definitely visit. Also it is very close to the museum, and be sure to ask about the location of the Minoan town excavations just a short walk away along one of the side streets.
