Chania: “the jewel of Crete”, “Venice of the East”, the city of jasmine.
Our journey through Crete comes to an end in the region of Chania, where myths and legends meet history. Romans, Byzantines, Saracens, Venetians, and Ottomans – all sought its beauty and left their mark, shaping a rich mosaic in which tradition and modern life blend in harmony.
With us is Charis Akasiadis, who continues the legacy of the historic bougatsa shop Iordanis and shares the artistry behind it. We also speak with Eleni Kostaki about style and culture in today’s Chania.
