One of my favorite walks in a non known part of Chania. The atmosphere of Tabakaria is opposite to the vivid streets downtown. There are no Venetian buildings, no Cretan Renaissance, no fancy boutiques. This is a forgotten snapshot of Greece, worth knowing because of the history, the landscape, and its unicity.

Old leather factories and warehouses next to the sea. A very interesting neghbourhood that is being transformed quickly.

Visit Tabakaria a district with old leather processing houses found on the rocky eastern side of the city of Chania. The area was chosen for the following reasons: the abundant brackish subterranean waters used to soften leather, and its relative closeness to the city. Today some of the leather processing houses are still in operation. Adjusted to the natural properties of the land, the buildings have only one floor on the side of the street and two or three floors on the side of the sea. They are made of stone with tile roofs. They are built close to each other with very narrow, steep passages and steps going down to the sea. Tabakaria constitute a unique architectural complex.

Tabakaria, situated in the rocky eastern region of Chania, is the district where, since the early 19th century, the tanneries for processing leather were located. It is a very atmospheric region, an architectural monument of the industrial age. You can have a walk, or ride a bicycle, among the old, atmospheric tanneries and reach right after the small church of Holy Sunday where you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset by the sea. Relaxing at "Studio Oxo Nou" with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, or having dinner at "Thalassino Ageri" is highly recommended. more: greece.terrabook.com/chania/page/tabakaria-tanneries & www.chaniatourism.com/routes-in-chania/18-route-2.html

A visit to Crete would be incomplete if one does not stroll and eat in the old tannery industry district of the city of Chania. Picturesque, dilapidated, renovated buildings mesh with the most ambient coastline. This in fact is the neighborhood I live in, so if you decide to visit let me know to give you a tour.
