ʻO Chania, i kapaʻiaʻo Hania, Xania, a me nāʻano likeʻole likeʻole ma ke komohana o Crete a kokoke i ke kūlanakauhale nuiʻo Kissamos.

He pae honua kaʻaʻoi aʻeʻo Chania a pili pū nō hoʻi i ka American base ma Souda Bay, kahi e hoʻokipa ana i nā malihini kipa.

Hiki ma waena o Chania a me Heraklion,ʻaʻole i kaulana loa kēia kūlanakauhale o ke kūlanakauhale ma kona mau hoa kokoke i ka hikina a me ke komohana. He moku naniʻo ia, a no ka meaʻaʻole iʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ua emi nā kumukūʻai ma nā hokele, nā haleʻai, a me nā mea kūʻai maʻaʻana.

ʻO nā kūlanakauhale nui aku ma ka hemaʻo Crete ma ke kahakai o Mesara,ʻo kēia mau kūlanakauhale he mau mahi mahiʻai me nā mau hale noho aiʻole kahi hale'ē aʻe. Ke waihoʻia nei i nā kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi ma ka'āina, e like me ka kūlanakauhale maikaʻi loa o Kamilari, ke kaiāulu kahakai o Kalamaki, a me ka "Hippie Town" kaulana o Matala.

Hoʻomoeʻia nā mīkini i ka hua'ōlelo "Moires", akā ma nā hōʻailona e kahakaha ana i ke ala mai Heraklion, no laila, ināʻoe e hoʻokele, eʻimi i ka hua'ōlelo hou. Hoʻolālāʻo ia i kahi mākele alanui ma nā Lāpule a hoʻopuka i kahi mau kālepa kaʻa ma waho o ke kūlanakauhale. ʻO nā kūlanakauhaleʻelua e pili ana i kaʻoihana o kaʻoihana ma mua o ka kūʻaiʻana o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi.

ʻO Chora Sfakia ke poʻokela o ka māhele Pāʻani, akā naʻe, ke mālama nei i kahi manaʻo kaiāulu o ke kai a hiki ke loaʻa iā ia ma nā alanuiʻelua. He kūʻana ia no nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e kipa ana i ke kahawaiʻo Samaria ,ʻoiai e waihoʻia ana nā tausani o lākou i kēlā me kēia lā i ka holoʻana i nā moku kaʻa i ka'ākau'ākau o Crete ma hope iho o ka ihoʻana i ke kahawai.
