The harbour and marina of Chania are on the north side of the city. The entrance
to the harbour is easily identifiable by the Venetian lighthouse and bastion
at the mouth. Farther in on the quay, the domed mosque and houses of the harbour
are evident. The entrance to the inner harbour and marina are to the left immediately
after entry.
Facilities: Chania is a Port of Entry therefore Customs and Immigration Offices
are on the quay as well as Harbour Police. The new marina has electricity and
water facilities on the docks. The city of Chania has repair shops, plenty of
stores for provisions. Fuel can be brought to the quay. There is also a General
Hospital in Chania as well as private clinics, doctors, dentists, and pharmacies.
The Telephone and Post Offices provide all means of communication. There are
a great number of tavernas and hotels in the harbour and throughout the city.
Comments: The stern-to and bow-to mooring provide good protection from all
types weather. This combined with the new marina and the facilities of the city
make Chania a good wintering harbour as well as summer port. The approach to
the harbour is difficult in strong winds. There is a man-made breakwater west
of the entrance. The lighthouse on the east side of the harbour entrance is
lit at night. The breakwater west of the entrance also has a flashing lit buoy.
The inner harbour entrance has lights on either side (red on the north, green
on the south).
