3Chania (Crete)

While Crete is already a standout, Chania deserves special mention. This historic coastal city offers one of the most beautiful old towns in Greece, with a charming harbor, museums, and a lively café culture. At the same time, it provides modern healthcare facilities and international connections.

Chania attracts retirees who want a social, culturally rich environment without the intensity of larger cities. The surrounding countryside offers peaceful villages, while the city itself remains active throughout the year.
