Chaniá (Greek: Χανιά (plural), [xaˈɲa], also transliterated Chania, Hania, and Xania, older form Chanea and Venetian Canea, Ottoman Turkish خانيه Hanya) is the second largest city of Crete and the capital of the Chania regional unit. It lies along the north coast of the island, about 70 km (43 mi) west of Rethymno and 145 km (90 mi) west of Heraklion.
The official population of the municipal unit (the former municipality) is 55,838, while its metropolitan area has 108,310 (2011) inhabitants. This consists of the city of Chania along with 7 towns and villages: Mournies (pop. 6,390), Souda (pop. 5,330), Nerokouros (pop. 4,175), Daratsos (pop. 3,287), Perivolia (pop. 3,065), Galatas (pop. 2,131) and Vamvakopoulo (pop. 1,769).
The city of Chania lies around 40 km (25 mi) from the west end of Crete. By road, the distance is approximately 52 km (32 mi).
The city enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with sunny dry summers and mild rainy winters. During the period between April and October, clear-sky weather is almost an everyday feature. The atmosphere is always warm, but fierce heat waves (temperatures above 38 °C) are not very common, since the prevailing Etesian winds ("Meltemia") blow from northern directions and pleasantly moderate the conditions. Intervals of sunny days are frequent during the windy and rainy winter as well. Snow and frost are rare near the coast, with very few exceptions, like the snowstorm on 13 February 2004, when 10–30 in (250–760 mm) of snow accumulated in the urban area, causing general chaos. However, such cold days can be followed by much warmer and sunny weather. Even minor early heat waves can occur in March or April, during a Saharan dust event, whose main feature is the strong and hot katabatic wind from the south, which is a type of Sirokos (σιρόκος) and is called "Livas" (i.e. the wind from Libya) by the Greeks. Such events happen only a couple of times a year, and their duration is never more than one or two days.

Genres: Comedy,Porque yo se que la almas se juntan
y que los cuerpos en vida se cruzan
porque la vida es así misteriosa
quiero que sepas q no pienso en otra cosa
y en tu boquita, tu risa y tu pelo
y tu besitos que rezan en mi credo
que tu, mujer, me has estado llevando
en un colsapso que pinta en un infarto.
Y yo sin libertad,
cargando las cadenas de la soledad
y tu sin mas ni más
que nunca llamarás.
Flaco hasta los huesos, vivo en agonía,
esto no se cura con penicilina,
me he bañado todo en agua bendita
y le he puesto velas a Santa Sofía.
Soy un disidente de la psiquiatría,
un invertebrado sin anatomía,
una media cosa una cosa fría,
que si tú no vuelves se le va la vida.
Porque mis rezos no llegan al cielo
y mis promesas son palo de un ciego,
porque no soy matador ni torero,
quiero que sepas nena mía
que no puedo con esa pena
que es como una espada,
que me ha dejado cortado en dos tajadas
y que los días me importan un bledo
y lo que viene sin ti yo no lo quiero.
Y yo sin libertad,
cargando las cadenas de la soledad
y tú sin más ni más
que nunca llamarás.
Flaco hasta los huesos vivo en agonía...
Santa Sofía, Santa Sofía
ah ah
Flaco hasta los huesos vivo en agonía...
la la... Santa Sofía
la la... Santa Sofía
Flaco hasta los huesos vivo en agonía...
