Map of Chania
Quick answer
Chania's Venetian harbour and old town sit on the north coast of western Crete. The airport is on the Akrotiri peninsula, about 15 km east, and ferries use Souda port, about 7 km away. Balos lagoon and Falassarna are in the far west, Elafonisi in the south-west corner, and the Samaria Gorge starts in the White Mountains to the south.
