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.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (519 reviews)

Our 5 night stay at the Cretan Dream Resort was excellent. Nothing to fault about the Resort only that Stalos doesn't offer a great choice for evening dining and there isn't much of an atmosphere either. Hire a car for a short drive, 7.5km, into neighbouring Platanias for a wide selection of excellent restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment.
