Venizelos Graves

Reviewed By wisdombeginsinwonder - Chania Town, Greece

Eleutherios and Sofoklis Venizelos, father and son, they were both prime ministers of Greece. Their tombs are situated up in a hill, with (one of) the best views above the city. It worths a visit when the sun sets and if the sky is clear, you can enjoy the beautiful colours!

Agios Georgios Monastery

Reviewed By dk12345678 - Budapest, Hungary

The monastery is easily accessible by car. Very friendly people, small place with a soul. When we approached, there were goats grazing around. The monastery is tranquil, peaceful, we were only is when visiting, no crowds. The church is beautiful, the olive oil factory’s remains are impressive. We spent like 15 minutes there. Worths to visit, made our day.

Firkas Fortress

Reviewed By 0011223344 - London, United Kingdom

I found this very interesting. The fortress itself is free, with a lovely view back into the harbour, but the museum on the site is so worth visiting. The model of Hania is super, the war mapping and invaders routes on ground floor also very interesting. Up on the first floor the world war exhibits are brilliant. Learning about the British, Canadians, Australians that came to the island to defend and then their own civil struggle. Some great records. My husband didn't join me, I went on my own and spent two hours there. Roasting there, they have some air blowers but wear as little as possible! Good toilets on first floor.
