The construction of the first two "Neoria" in Chania was completed in 1526. In 1593, sixteen "Neoria" had already been constructed.

Seitan Ports beach is a really special place. Its name comes from the Turkish language (Seitan = Satan) and means Cursed Ports. Blessed by beauty, however, is the beach as it is essentially a small fjord, ie a strip of sea that enters the land. The waters are deep blue and make the beach of Stefanos, as it is otherwise called, an idyllic landscape. It is of course a very small beach resulting in overcrowding during the period of high tourist traffic.

The gorge of Patsos or Agios Antonios is located 8 km southwest of the Monastery of Arkadi, in the the beautiful province Amari. The water of the gorge is gathered in the the dam of Potami. Hiking in the canyon up to one point is very easy, as a well designated path has been formed by the forest service ending at its narrowest point with a unique waterfall falling into a cave. From there the gorge gets narrow and forms several small waterfalls and the descent to the lake of Potami requires considerable attention, especially in winter and spring. Another trail ascends to the watchtower of avifauna above the river.
