Chania is one of the most beautiful cities on Crete and thought by many to be the most picturesque in Greece. Chania is a bustling city with both old and modern sections famed for the Venetian Harbour, the old port, the narrow shopping streets and waterfront restaurants. The Old Town is a major attraction with its twisting narrow lanes and its mainly pedestrianised alleys. There is a variety of old stone villas and houses, many of which have been converted into comfortable hotels, popular restaurants and tavernas, bars, and shops offering a wide variety of gift items. The port and harbour section, boasts impressive Venetian walls that protected the old Firkas Fortress, a Venetian lighthouse, and an ancient Turkish mosque. Chania is the location of one of the island's major airports, and it is also an important port both for cruise ships and ferries. =============== Further Information ================ For general enquiries about the conference, please contact: contact@kesinternational.org For registration enquiries, please contact: registration@kesinternational.info Please follow us on our linked in page https://www.linkedin.com/company/kes-international |
