Old Venetian Port at Chania #BestOf5
The Old Venetian Harbour, Chania, Crete
The old port of Chania, or Xania, on Crete, Greece. Chania's old town was built during the town's long Venetian rule, and reminded more of a small Italian city than it did other towns in Greece. http://timeanddestination.com/venetian-cities-greece-chania-rethymno-nafplio/
Every part of this city is beautiful in its own way.
