SPLANTZIA: A HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD IN CHANIA

Splantzia is one of Chania’s most historic districts, preserving its unique identity through centuries of history. Since the Venetian era, it has been a lively center of activity, with the Church of Agios Nikolaos standing out. Built in 1320, it has undergone multiple transformations, reflecting Crete’s multicultural past. Originally a Dominican monastery, it was later converted into an Ottoman mosque with the addition of a minaret, before becoming an Orthodox church. Today, it symbolizes the coexistence of different cultures and religions. The modern-day 1821 Square is the heart of Splantzia, where large plane trees provide shade, and the surrounding cafés and tavernas blend tradition with a relaxed ambiance.

WHAT TO DO IN SPLANTZIA?

Visit the Church of Agios Nikolaos to discover its multicultural history and admire its architecture. Wander through the traditional shops on Sifaka Street, where you can find handmade knives engraved with Cretan mantinades, a true part of Crete’s artistic heritage. Finally, relax under the natural shade of the plane tree in 1821 Square, enjoying a Greek coffee or a glass of raki in one of the local cafés.

VENETIAN HARBOR

The Venetian Harbor is one of Chania’s most iconic landmarks, home to monuments such as the Firkas Fortress, the Grand Arsenal shipyards, the Etz Hayyim Synagogue, the Yali Mosque, and the Egyptian Lighthouse, all testifying to the city’s rich history. Stroll along the waterfront promenade, admire the architecture of the Venetian buildings, and visit the local restaurants and tavernas to savor Cretan cuisine. You can also enjoy a coffee or a drink in one of the many waterfront cafés and bars while taking in the breathtaking view of the harbor.
