Firkas or Revellino del Porto is one of the most impressive Venetian fortresses which dominates at the northwestern side of Chania at the old port. It was built at the 16th century at a key position, protecting the harbor entrance. During the Turkish period Revellino was used as barrack (Firka = barrack), for that reason the name Firka is still used today. The Union of Crete with Greece in 1913 was celebrated at Firkas Fortress with the placement of the blue-and-white flag of Greece on its walls. Firkas Fortress has a panoramic view of the Venetian harbor of Chania and offers a great photo opportunity. The Maritime Museum of Crete is housed in the Firkas fortress.

The old town of Chania consists of dozens of picturesque alleys waiting to be discovered. The cobbled streets that combine both the Ottoman and Venetian architecture create an intimate and romantic atmosphere and are an ideal choice for walks.

They host local shops where you can find from traditional food and Mediterranean flavors to Cretan knives and handmade jewelry.

Chania Municipal Market is located in the center of Chania, in the heart of the city, where the main bastion of the fortifications stood in Venetian times. It is commonly known as the "Agora".

The Municipal Market is cross shaped and has four doors. Today at the building of the Municipal Market are hosted many shops that sell local products and souvenirs. The Municipal Market constitutes an architectural jewel for Chania and is one of the most impressive markets in Balkans.
