Crete 8: Chania

 

Doma Hotel

Chania is a city on the northwest coast of Greece, population around 90,000.  Interesting fact: at the beginning of the 20th century Crete was independent for about a decade, and Chania was the capital.   The Doma Hotel, where we stayed, was the Austro-Hungarian Embassy during that time and there is a plaque on rhe front wall commemorating the ambassador's work in preventing a war.

Breakfast Room

Not our hotel.
