La Canée

The Canée is the former capital of Crete, located on the north-west coast, in the area of ​​Hania. The old Venetian harbour is very pleasant place to visit for a few days. It is a very nice city with narrow streets and good restaurants where you can follow the famous Cretan diet (Mediterranean).
