The Samariá Gorge is a National Park since 1962 – a major attraction of the island – and a World's Biosphere Reserve.

The walk takes five to seven hours. There are daily buses starting from Chania to the head of the gorge. The buses depart Chania Central Bus Station from early in the morning. There is plenty of drinking water all along the gorge. Hiking boots are recommended, also sneakers can be worn

Loutro is a small picturesque seaside resort village located on the south coast of the prefecture of Chania, in the region of Sfakia, Crete. It's a resort that operates mainly in the summer season and maybe on weekends or on holidays throughout the year. Here there are no roads or car traffic, and apart from the ferry that comes and leaves, you will see small boats used either for pleasure or transportation, because the village is only accessible by sea (or walking). Expect to find only the most necessary for your holidays. There are several restaurants, a couple of cafes that turn into bars at night, mini markets, as well as several small hotels painted in the colors of white and blue.

Think about the old Venetian harbour of Chania as the gemstone on the most priceless jewel of western Crete, called old town of Chania. It will amaze you whenever you visit it. The quay is the busiest part of the old town of Chania, filled with cafes, restaurants, bars, bakeries and other shops. However, the old Venetian harbour of Chania would have been just like another beautiful seaside tourist place, if there haven't been preserved its monuments since the Venetian rule period (1252-1645), the Ottoman rule (1645-1898 ), and the years of the Egyptian domination (1831-1841) that occurred during the Turkish period.

Gramvousa island is a tourist's attraction due to the existence of a Venetian fortress built (in the shape of an isosceles triangle) on the highest part of the island. Granvousa's fortress has its own long history. It began to be built around 1584 by the Venetians, in the context of a general fortress construction program in Crete, to face the looming expansion of the Turks in the area of Crete and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Over the years, it was conquered by the Turks, liberated, occupied by the British and the French, and dominated again by the Turks. On a daily basis during summer, mini-cruises to Gramvousa and Balos beach are conducted from the Kavonissi port of Kissamos.
