Byzantine Walls of Chania

Byzantine Walls of Chania

To protect the city against raids, Chania’s Byzantine walls were created. It is believed that they were constructed out of materials from old buildings, and what’s left today can be tracked down in Sifaka Street. Take a wander and snap a few photos of this historic relic.
