2 REGIUNEA CHANIA Regiunea Chania ( Hania ), care se află în extrema de Vest a Cretei, se caracterizează prin frumuseţea sa unică. Având nenumărate plaje nisipoase, strâmtori, peșteri, plante și animale endemice, crânguri vaste de măslini și portocali și combinaţia peisajului sălbatic cu marea, îl excită chiar și pe cel mai greu de mulţumit vizitator. În regiunea internă muntoasă sunt sate uitate de timp, pe unde și unde câte o biserică și mănăstire, turnuri și castele. Întreaga zonă constituie un loc arheologic interesant și un paradis pentru călătorii, alpinism și sport. Excavările atât în orașul Chania cat și în zona rustică au demonstrat existenţa caselor din timpurile preistorice pâna în prezent. Clima moale mediterană (cu temperaturile de circa 12ºC iarna și 30ºC vara), bucatele speciale din Creta, tradiţiile care sunt uitate în alte locuri și ospitalitatea cu inima deschisă a locuitorilor insulei atrag vizitatorii în locul acesta binecuvântat. 1 2

3 2 THE COUNTY OF CHANIA The county of Chania, the most western part of Crete, is characterized by its unique beauty. With its endless sandy beaches, gorges, caves, endemic plants and animals, vast olive and orange groves and a combination of wild landscapes and sea, it excites even the hardest to please visitor. In the mountainous inner region, it hosts villages that have been forgotten by time, scattered churches and monasteries, towers and castles. The whole area is a particularly interesting archaeological site and a paradise for wandering, mountain climbing and sports. Excavations, both in the town of Chania and in the countryside, have proven the existence of residences from prehistoric times to today. The mild Mediterranean climate (with temperatures around 12 o C in winter and 30 o C in summer), special Cretan diet, customs that elsewhere tend to become forgotten and the whole hearted hospitality of the islanders, win over the visitor, to this blessed place

6 9 TURUL CULTURAL AL ORAȘULUI CHANIA Vizitatorul care este pentru prima dată în Chania este surprins de marele număr de clădiri și monumente în care se regăsesc urme ale marii istorii și civilizaţiei bogate. Vechiul oraș, ce se află pe/și în jurul dealului Kasteli, a fost construit peste ruinele Kydoniei minoane și este înconjurat de Peretele Bizantin, Peretele Veneţian și marea. Civilizaţia minoană a lăsat în urma sa morminte măreţe, obiecte și articole din ceramica interesante. În perioda invaziei veneţienilor și turcilor, oamenii de diferite naţionalitaţi, culturi și religii au coexistat. Creștinii (catolici și ortodocși), evreii și musulmanii au lăsat în urma sa urme vizibile și au efectuat creaţii extrem de interesante. 5 6

7 10 11 CULTURAL TOUR OF THE TOWN OF CHANIA A first time visitor to Chania is surprised by the great number of buildings and monuments on which can be found traces of its great history and rich civilisation. The old town, on and around the hill of Kasteli, was built upon the ruins of Minoan Kydonia and is surrounded by the Byzantine wall, the Venetian wall and the sea. The Minoan civilisation left behind grand tombs, interesting ceramics and objects. During its occupation by the Venetians and the Turks, people of different nationality, culture and religion co existed. Christians (Catholic and Orthodox), Jews and Muslims, have left discernible traces and produced particularly interesting creations. In the neighbourhood of Topanas with its narrow paved streets, the visitor meets Venetian manors with elaborately decorated facades and Turkish houses with architectural protrusions. 12

8 13 În cartierul Topanas cu străzile sale înguste pavate, vizitatorii pot vedea moșii veneţiene cu faţade decorate elaborate și case turcești cu protuberanţe arhitecturale. Aici puteţi vedea Fortul Firkas, Muzeul Naval și biserica San Salvatore a Călugărilor Franciscani (sec e.n.) care deţin colecţia bizantină din Chania. Aici veţi găsi și colecţia ILAEK precum si multele magazine ce pun la dispoziţie lucrări manuale tradiţionale. În cartierul evreu vechi se află sinagoga și în strada Halidon muzeul folcloric (Casa Cretană) și biserica St. Frangiskos. 7 8

9 14 15 There we can find Fort Firkas, the Naval Museum and the church of San Salvatore of the Francheskan Monks (15th 17th cent. AD) which hosts the Byzantine collection of Chania. The collection of ILAEK and many shops offering traditional handicrafts can also be found there. In the old Jewish neighbourhood there is the synagogue and on Halidon street the folklore museum (Cretan house) and the church of St. Frangiskos. The church hosts the townʼs archaeological museum and houses treasures from the Minoan to the Hellenistic period. Opposite there is the Metropolitan temple of Isodia (representation of the Virgin Mary) with its exquisite hagiographies and close to that are the old Turkish baths. In the area of Sintrivani, around the homonymous square, there is the mosque of Kiuchouk Hasan (1645) and opposite that the quay with the Venetian lighthouse. A little further away, 7 out of the original 17 docks (Neoria) can be found (14th 16th cent. AD). Eye capturing is the Great Arsenal, which today is used as a convention and exhibition centre. 16

10 De a lungul portului, cofetăriile şi restaurantele mici creează o atmosferă atractivă. Pe dealurile Kasteli încă se mai păstrează rămășiţele vechiului palat al lui Rector şi a curţii sale, precum și incrustaţia deasupra ușii care ne reamintește de existenţa Arhivelor Veneţiene. În apropiere se găsesc săpăturile din vechea Kydonie și ruinele bisericii Sf. Maria de Miracole (1615). La stivanadika, care se caracterizează prin trăsături occidentale, putem cumpăra piele bună. Lângă aceasta se află clădirea Chrisostomas și noua galerie a Artelor publice. În vecinătatea vechii Turcii se află Splanzia, care este gradina publică a mănăstirii Sf. Nicolai (1204) cu clopotniţă si minaret. Mica biserică Sf. Rokkos (1630) de asemenea poate fi întâlnită acolo. Lângă ea se află biserica Sf. Anargyroi (sec. al XVI lea) cu hageografia ei valoroasă și biserica Sf. Caterina. În afara zidurilor, în estul orașului, se află Koum Kapi unde, de-a lungul ultimilor ani de ocupaţie turcă, beduinii au zidit un sătuc. Astăzi, aceste spaţii reprezintă locuri minunate si foarte primitoare pentru a le vizita. 9 10

11 Along the harbour, small cafeterias and restaurants create an inviting atmosphere. On the hill of Kasteli there are still parts of the old Rectorʼs palace and its court and the engraving on a lintel over a door reminds us of the existence of Venetian Archives. Near there, the excavation of ancient Kydonia and the ruins of the church of St. Maria of Mirakoli (1615) are located. At the stivanadika, which is still characterised by Eastern features, one can buy leather goods. Next to that is the building of Chrisostomos and the new public Art Gallery. In the old Turkish neighbourhood Splantzia is the square of the former monastery of St. Nicholas (1204) with a bell tower and minaret. The small church of the period of enlightenmentʼs of St. Rokkos (1630) can also be found there. Near that is the church of St. Anargyroi (16th cent. AD) with its priceless hagiographies and St. Catherineʼs church. Outside the walls, to the east of the old town, we come across Koum Kapi where during the last years of the Turkish occupation, Beduins built a village. Today the area is a favourite meeting place for young people

12 În biserică se află muzeul arheologic al orașului și comorile din perioada minoană pana la cea elenă. Pe partea opusă a acesteia se află templul metropolitan Isodia (reprezentarea Virginiei Maria) cu hagiografiile sale excepţionale și aproape de acesta se află băile turcești. În regiunea Sintrivani, în piaţa cu același nume se află moscheea Kiuchouk Hasa (1645) și vizavi de aceasta cheiul cu farul veneţian. Puţin mai departe puteţi vedea 7 din cele 17 cheiuri originale (Neoria) (sec e.n.). Captivant este Marele Arsenal, care în prezent este utilizat ca centru pentru convenţii și expoziţii. În cartierul Halepa se află palatul Prinţului Gheorghe, casa lui Elefterios Venizelos, Școala Franceză (1860), biserica Sf. Magdalena (1903) și biserica lui Evanghelismou. Locurile marcante din perioadele mai târzii sunt: Villa Koundourou, un atelier de arte plastice și centrul de tineret, parcul municipal (1870) cu ceasul său, piaţa (construită în 1913, o clădire cruciforma cu sute de magazine mici), parcul păcii și prieteniei dintre oameni, judecătoria, prefectura, Școala de Muzică Venizelion, Muzeul arhivei Istorice, Muzeul de Război și Muzeul de Chimie. În cartierele din exteriorul pereţilor există o mulţime de clădiri neoclasice cu grădini frumoase ce miroase a hiacint și butuci de trandafiri. La marginea orașului cu capul (Akrotiri) se află mormintele lui Eleftherios si Sofocles Venizelos. Orașul Chania, prima capitală a Cretei, și a păstrat ereditatea istorică a atâtor secole practic neatinsă. Atmosfera sa a atras oameni de știinţa, filosofi, poeţi și artiști de diferite origini și a devenit un centru cultural

13 22 23 In the neighbourhood of Halepa there is the palace of Prince George, the house of Eleftherios Venizelos, the French School (1860), the church of St. Magdalea (1903) and the church of Evangelismou. From later periods the following places are of interest: the manor Villa Koundourou, a workshop of fine arts and a youth centre, the municipal park (1870) with its clock, the market (built 1913, cross shaped building with hundreds of small shops), the park of peace and friendship of people, the court house, the prefecture, the Venizelion School of Music, the Historic Archives Museum, the War Museum and the Museum of Chemistry. In the neighbourhoods outside the walls there are many neoclassical buildings with beautiful gardens which smell of hyacinth, honey suckle and rose trees. At the border of the town with the cape (Akrotiri) are the graves of Eleftherios and Sofocles Venizelos. The town of Chania, the first capital of Crete, kept its historical heritage of so many centuries almost unaffected. Its atmosphere attracted scientists, philosophers, poets and artists of different origins and it became a cultural centre.

20 ARHEOLOGIA ÎN REGIUNEA CHANIA Regiunea Chania este bogată în orașe antice și monumente din toate perioadele civilizaţiei. Dovadă la acestea sunt mormintele minoane în Maleme și Kournas precum și orașele așa ca Aptera, Lissos, Polirrinia, Eliros, Irtakina și Falassarna. Monumentele grecești romane așa ca podul din Vrisses, orașul Mithimn și sfânta Dictyna (în care era venerată zeiţa Vritomartys) sunt doar câteva din locurile ce i așteaptă pe vizitatorii interesaţi. BISERICILE ȘI MĂNĂSTIRILE Veţi putea găsi o comoară nepreţuită în bisericile (peste 300 bizantine), bisericile muntenești și mănăstirile importante din regiunea Chania. Aici puteţi trăi o experienţă religioasă de nerepetatsau să efectuaţi o cercetare ce ţine de arta bizantină sau arhitectura religioasă. Bisericile splendide cu fresce minunate, parţial făcute de meșterii hagiografiei bizantine asemeni lui I. Pagomenos, reprezintă importanţa acestui loc. Vizitatorii pot vizita, printre altele, biserica Sfântului Gheorghe în Komitades în Sfakia (1314), Sf. Nikolas în mănăstirea din Selino (1315), Arhanghelul Mihail din Kiriakoselia, Rotond în Episkopi în Kissamos, Maica Domnului din Stylos (sec. 12), biserica Regala din prima perioadă bizantină în Sougia și multe altele. În Chania puteţi găsi multe mănăstiri importante. Unele din acestea sunt Sfanta Treime din Tzagarolon și Gouverneto din Akrotiri, mănăstirea Gonia din Kolymbari, mănăstirea Crissoskalitissa din apropierea Elafonissi și mănăstirea pentru femei Chrissopigi din Mournies

21 31 ARCHAELOGY IN THE DISTRICT OF CHANIA The district of Chania is rich in ancient towns and monuments from all periods of civilisation. Proof of this are the Minoan tombs in Maleme and Kournas as well as towns such as Aptera, Lissos, Polirrinia, Eliros, Irtakina and Falassarna. Greek roman monuments such as the bridge of Vrisses, the town Mithimn and the sacred Dictyna (where the goddess Vritomartys was worshipped) are some of the places that await any interested visitor. CHURCHES AND MONASTERIES A priceless treasure in churches (over 300 Byzantine), mountain churches and important monasteries can be found scattered around the county of Chania. Here one can experience an unrepeatable religious experience or conduct research in relation to Byzantine art or religious architecture. Splendid churches with wonderful frescoes, partly by masters of Byzantine hagiography like I. Pagomenos, portray the importance of this place. The visitor can, among other things, visit the church of St. George in Komitades in Sfakia (1314), St. Nikolas in the convent of Selino (1315), the Archangel Michael in Kavalarian Kandanos (1328), the Mother of God in Kakodiki Selino (1332), the church of St. Nikolas in Kiriakoselia, the Rotonda in Episkopi in Kissamos, the Mother of God in Stylos (12th cent), the Royal church from the first Byzantine period in Sougia and many more. Many important monasteries can be found in Chania. Some of them are the Holy Trinity of Tzagarolon and the Gouverneto in Akrotiri, the convent of Gonia in Kolymbari, the convent of Chrissoskalitissa near Elafonissi and the womenʼs monastery of Chrissopigi in Mournies. 32

22 REGIUNEA INTERNĂ MUNTOASĂ PARADISUL UNUI CĂLĂTOR Regiunea Chania este divizată de munţii Lefka Ori în două peisaje naturale complet diferite. Zona de coastă, cu plaje de o lungime de 415 km, este mai bogată și mai dens populată. Partea interioară mai puţin populată este una din cele mai autentice părţi ale Cretei. Pe majoritatea din piscurile munţilor temperatura este mai joasă de zero grade Celsius și din decembrie până în mai sunt acoperite cu zăpadă. Pe pantele muntelui sunt multe sate tradiţionale mici, uitate de vreme, cu casele din piatră întoarse spre soare, cu siguranţă destinaţii verzi interesante ale Cretei. Zilnic, tot mai mulţí călători încearcă să le exploreze pe jos, cu jeep urile, caii și bicicletele. Uniunea Europeană promovează prin programul Leader călătoriile în adăposturile turistice rustice. În locuri ca Vamos, Milia, Keramia, Kasteli, Askifou, Spilia, etc. Turiștii se pot bucura de viaţa simplă și naturală, pot savura bucatele Cretane cu un pahar de vin sau tsikoudia, pot participa la sărbători și simţi rădăcinile civilizaţiei europene. Adăposturile ospitaliere, localurile în care puteţi petrece timpul liber și magazinele cu covoare făcute manual, bijuteriile fine, broderiile, mobila tradiţională, ceramica și produsele de casă (branza, tăiţeii, marmelada, etc) sau calitatea excelentă garantează o ședere de neuitat

23 34 35 THE MOUNTAINOUS INNER DISTRICT A WANDERERʼS PARADISE The county of Chania is divided by the Lefka Ori mountains into two completely different natural landscapes. The coastal zone, with beaches 415 km long, is richer and more densely populated. The sparsely populated inner territory is one of the most authentic parts of Crete. On most of its mountain tops, temperatures are below zero and from December to May they are covered with snow. On the mountain slopes there are many small traditional villages, forgotten by time, with their stone houses turned towards the sun, certainly interesting green destinations of Crete. Day after day, more and more wanderers try to explore them on foot, by jeep, horse or bicycle. The European Union promotes, with the programme Leader, sojourns at rustic touristsʼ shelters. In places like Vamos, Milia, Keramia, Kasteli, Askifou, Spilia, etc. it is possible for the tourist to enjoy the Cretan simple and natural life, to enjoy the Cretan diet with a glass of wine or tsikoudia, to take part in celebrations and to feel the roots of European civilisation. Hospitable shelters, establishments for spending your free time and shops with handmade carpets, fine jewellery, embroidery, traditional furniture, ceramics and home made products (cheese, noodles, marmelades, etc.) of excellent quality guarantee an unforgettable stay. 36

24 37 39 TRECĂTORI PEȘTERI 38 Datorită florei și faunei speciale, o mare parte din mediul natural al orașului Chania constă din zone protejate pentru vanat, parcuri naţionale și areale naturale (lacul Aghia, lacul Kournas, insulele Gavdos și Gavdopoula, Elafonissi, etc.) care sunt protejate de Natura2000. Speciile protejate, așa ca ţapul Cretan și zgripţorul vulture locuiesc în Parcul Naţional al strâmtorii Samaria, aici mai fiind o mulţime de plante endemice care cresc doar în acest loc. Cea mai mare trecătoare din Europa, trecătoarea Samaria, pornește din podișul Omalos și are o lungime de 16 km și o lăţime de la 3 pană la 300 de metri. Călătoria turiștilor, care durează între 4 și 5 ore, este permisă din mai pană în septembrie. Pentru călători, alpiniști și exploratorii peșterilor, există o mulţime de destinaţii bine cunoscute în regiunea Chania, așa ca trecătoarea Sf. Irene din Selino, Imros din Sfakia, Aradaina, Therisso, etc. Și peste 1500 de peșteri și peșteri maritime. Cele mai interesante se află în Apokoronas (Samonas, Kournas, Melidoni, etc.), Sf. John și Peștera Urșilor din apropierea Gouverneto

25 GORGES CAVES Due to its special flora and fauna, a large part of the natural environment of Chania consists of protected areas for hunting, national parks and natural habitats (lake of Ayia, lake of Kournas, islands of Gavdos and Gavdopoula, Elafonissi, etc.) which are protected by Natura Protected species, such as the Cretan goat and the vulture eagle, live at the National Park of the gorge of Samaria and there is an abundance of endemic plants which grow only there. The grandest gorge in Europe, the Samaria gorge, starts at the tableland of Omalos and is 16 km long and from 3 to 300 m wide. Crossing of the gorge, which lasts about 4 to 5 hours, is allowed from May to September. For wanderers, mountain climbers and cave explorers, there are many well loved destinations in the county of Chania, such as the gorge of St. Irene in Selino, Imbros in Sfakia, Aradaina, Therisso etc. and more than 1500 caves and sea caves. The most interesting ones are those of Apokoronas (Samonas, Kournas, Melidoni etc), of St. John and the Bearcave near the convent of Gouverneto. Hospitable shelters, mounted like birdsʼ nests on mountain peaks, await mountain climbers and wanderers. Information can be obtained from local mountaineering clubs (Greek Mountaineering Club of Chania, 90 Tzanakaki str., open late evenings, tel )

26 43 Adăposturile ospitaliere, construite asemeni cuiburilor de păsări pe piscurile munţilor, sunt în așteptarea alpiniștilor și călătorilor. Informaţia poate fi obţinută de la cluburile de alpinism locale (Greek Mountaineering Club din Chania, str. Tzanakaki 90, deschis pana seara târziu. Tel: ). Adăposturile din Lefka Ori: Kalergi, Svourihti Chouliopoulos, Volikas și Tavri. Rutele sugerate pentru alpinism: 1. Kalathas, ruta alpinistă în apropierea mării în Akrotiri, circa 30 rute cu carlige pentru funii la vârfuri, există rute de gradul IV VII de dificultate ñ 2. Stavros, Akrotiri, 6 rute cu cârlige, gradul V VII de dificultate. ñ 3. Gigilos, peste Samaria, 15 rute, gradul V VII de dificultate ñ 4) Therissos, peste trecătoarea Therissos, gradul V VII de dificultate FLORA ȘI FAUNA Clima și configuraţia pămantului fac regiunea Chania un paradis pentru mii de plante și animale. Lilia de mare (pancratium maritimum), lavdano (lavdanum), ciclama (cyclamen creticum), lalele cretane (tulipa cretica), malpe (acer creticus).
