Some of the best views in Chania

#mediterranean #greece #crete Visiting the Firka Venetian Fortress in Chania was a nice way to get a feel for the city’s history while also enjoying some great views. The fortress sits right at the edge of the old harbor, and it was originally built to defend the entrance from attacks. You can still walk around the thick walls and imagine how important this spot once was for protecting the city. The structure itself is fairly simple, but the location makes it special. From the top of the walls you get wide views of the harbor, the lighthouse, and the colorful houses lining the waterfront. It’s a peaceful place to just pause for a while, away from the busier promenade below. It doesn’t take long to visit, but it adds another layer to exploring Chania. Standing there, you see how history and everyday life blend together in the old town.
