Hotels in Chania Dec 03

Welcome to beautiful Hania, a heavenly and pure land brimming with natural beauty, history, memory and culture.

The prefecture of Hania is the western most division of the island of Crete covering an area of 2,376 square km and with a population of 150,387 residents (census 2001). The prefecture of Rethymno forms its eastern border while the warm waters of the Mediterranean, the Cretan Sea on the north and the Liviko Sea on the south, lap a remaining area of 350 square km of seashore on its three other sides. The majestic White mountain range or Madares with its dozens of peaks, the tallest of all being Pahnes (2,454 metres), constitutes the backbone of the prefecture. The morphology of the landscape and the location of Crete in the center of the Mediterranean have a direct effect on the climate of the prefecture of Hania which is characterized as temperate Mediterranean and particularly dry with sunlight 70% of the year. The rich geomorphology and the temperate climate favour the growth of more than 2100 indigenous plants, 300 of which are endemic, while endemic animals complete the mosaic of Cretan nature.
