MARCHÉ COUVERT
Read moreThe covered market of Hania was built in 1911 and inaugurated by Elefterios Venizelos himself in 1913, on the occasion of the events that took place that year to celebrate the annexation of Crete to Greece. The market is well worth a visit, although it has lost some of its charm with the installation of many tourist shops. You can still buy fish, cheese, spices, and Cretan souvenirs. The weather is cool, which is nice for lunch or a stroll.
