Leaving the area of Platanias, we head to the city of Chania, where the symposium attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a city tour with an experienced official city guide. After the end of the city tour, we will have free time to wander around the narrow streets of Chania. Chania is one of the oldest cities in Crete, with a rich and tumultuous history. Today it is the second most populated city on the island, which has preserved its traditional architecture and most of its monuments from Venetian and Turkish times. The Venetian harbor with its lighthouse and the old town in the center have bestowed on Chania the reputation of the most picturesque city in Crete, welcoming thousands of visitors each year.<\/p>\n<\/div>
