Mitropoleos Square is one of the main stops on any tourist visit. Find out about its historical background and importance or just kick back and watch the world pass by.

This public square is often on the itineraries of travelers to Chania Town. But Mitropoleos Square isn't the area's only drawcard. Chania Lighthouse, Agia Marina Beach, and Nea Chora Beach are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.

20/10 Exceptional! (74 reviews)

Beautiful thoughtful renovation of a very old building. For design and architecture fans. From the linens to the woodwork every detail done with finesse. Sweetest staff and fresh breakfast buffet on a comfortable little terrace among the rooftops.. Hotel is in a pedestrian part of the old town, in a quiet alley off a narrow street that comes alive at night with outdoor dining. Quiet but very central. Loved this place.
