Workation in Chania: the essentials
Venetian houses curve around the old harbour of Chania, on the north-west shore of Crete about 145 km west of Heraklion. The municipality has around 111,000 residents, enough to keep the town going in winter, and the Technical University of Crete adds students. The White Mountains and the Samaria Gorge rise to the south, while Balos and Elafonisi are long day trips by car. Chania International Airport is about 14 km away and ferries from nearby Souda run to Piraeus. In July and August the old town is packed and rentals are hard to find, so spring and autumn are easier months to settle in.
