Balos: A massive rock in the sea, clear blue waters and endless white sand compose a beautiful lagoon, shallow and clear, with small shells that in many places make the sand look pink… Located in the northwestern part of Chania Prefecture 17km from Kissamos. It is worth crossing the relatively smooth dirt road and then descending the path to see all this beauty from above, but there is also an easier and more comfortable way, other than the boat that visits Balos daily and departs from Kissamos.

Lake Kournas It is the only natural freshwater lake in Crete, located just four kilometers from Georgioupolis and in addition to the spectacular scenery, you can enjoy diving in the emerald waters of Lake Kournas! The lake of course has its own fairy who appears on the moonlit nights to comb her long hair. For the fairy tale of Kournas there are two different legends: • The fairy was the daughter of a peasant who sat with her father sometime where the lake is today. Her father who had been captivated by her beauty, was tempted and approached her with cunning moods. The terrified daughter shouted, "Voula and Voulolimna and I too are in the lake!" in the dark waters the unlucky girl found refuge. • The second legend about the creation of the lake and its fairy tale states that the inhabitants of the area lived and behaved as if they were far from the path of God. God was angry and decided to punish them, as he also did in the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah. So it caused rains that lasted many days and strangled the village and the villagers, creating a lake. The only person saved was his grandfather's daughter, who still appears today sitting on a pond in the lake and combing her hair. This fairy takes care of the ducks and other small animals that live in the area.

The height of 21 m. The Egyptian Lighthouse, which prides itself on the Old Port of Chania, is one of the oldest in the world, with its history lost in the depths of centuries. It is the most famous ornament of the harbor and, although ... Egyptian in name, it is in fact a creation of the Venetians. Over time, it suffered significant damage and had to spend more than 200 years until the 1830s-40s to be rebuilt by the Egyptians. Thus, the lighthouse not only earned the name that "accompanied" it for centuries, it also acquired one of the most architectural styles in the world - its base is octagonal, the middle section has 16 angles, and its top is circular and it looks like a minaret!

1)Neoria. Giant and stubbornly resisting the passage of time, the 17 stone arsenals have always been landmarks perfectly intertwined with the Old Port. The shaded vaulted buildings stand in line and magnify the look, today serving both the memory and the cultural identity of the modern city. Alternative points of withdrawal, maintenance and protection of the fleet during the severe winter, were erected in 1497, were open to the sea and were divided into two parts. From the east, only two are saved, one of which functions as an annex to the Maritime Museum, while the north only 7 left. 2) Neorio Moro. At the edge of the harbor, the bombarded Neorio, until recently known as the deserted "Neorio" in the eastern port of the Venetian Harbor, was built from scratch to give 2011 its place in the Chania Sailing Club. Originally built in the early 16th century by the Venetian Predictor Moros and today, besides the headquarters of the group, it serves as a café, and hosts exhibitions, book presentations, seminars, screenings and music events.

Its construction was completed in 1600 as the seat of the Venetian flagship. As its original utility expired, it occasionally hosted the school of the Christian community, housed theatrical performances (from 1892), functioned as a municipal hospital (from 1923), and served as the town hall for the period 1928-1941. The Second World War left it bombarded, to the point that it needed a series of extensive reconstructions to make it reusable.

It may now house the Maritime Museum, but Firkas Fortress, on the north side of the Koundouriotou Coast, has been a watchdog since 1645 as a timeless symbol of freedom for Crete. In Turkish it means "barracks", but it was the Venetians who erected the fort as a fortification project to protect the port's entrance from enemy ships. What makes it extremely important, however, is that the Greek flag for the Union of Crete with Greece was officially raised on 1 December 1913 in the corner of its turret, in the presence of King Constantine, Prime Minister Venizelos, Admiral Kountouri and Admiral Kountouri of a world that cheered.

With the minaret silently overlooking from above and the old stone houses with Venetian elements dominating the straits, it is not by chance the most picturesque corner of Chania. But Dalian's revival has been a matter of recent years. After all, a few years ago, no souls from this former "infamous" neighborhood passed. The small strait, in the area of Splantzia, has been paved and turned over the last five years into one of the most trendy places for night walks and, at the same time, the most vibrant Old Town lounge. Taverns and bars make up the majority of the population, giving life to the once abandoned alley.
