Chania (Greek: Χανιά, [xaˈɲa], 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 53,910, while the municipality has 108,642 (2011) inhabitants. This consists of the city of Chania and several other towns and villages, including Kounoupidiana (pop. 8,620), Mournies (pop. 7,614), Souda (pop. 6,418), Nerokouros (pop. 5,531), Daratsos (pop. 4,732), Perivolia (pop. 3,986), Galatas (pop. 3,166) and Aroni (pop. 3,003).
Chania is the site of the Minoan settlement the Greeks called Kydonia, Greek for quince. It appears on Linear B as ku-do-ni-ja. Some notable archaeological evidence for the existence of this Minoan city below some parts of today's Chania was found by excavations in the district of Kasteli in the Old Town. This area appears to have been inhabited since the Neolithic era. The city reemerged after the end of the Minoan period as an important city-state in Classical Greece, one whose domain extended from Chania Bay to the feet of the White Mountains. The first major wave of settlers from mainland Greece was by the Dorian Greeks who came around 1100 BC. Kydonia was constantly at war with other Cretan city-states such as Aptera, Phalasarna and Polyrrinia and was important enough for the Kydonians to be mentioned in Homer's Odyssey (xix.200). In 69 BC, the Roman consul Caecilius Metellus defeated the Cretans and conquered Kydonia to which he granted the privileges of an independent city-state. Kydonia reserved the right to mint its own coins until the third century AD.

English: The popular Cretan artists George and Nikos Stratakis enjoy their coffee at the old port of Chania. The tabor lying on the table and its thrilling sound arouse the interest of a kid. The artists could not withstand. They started to accompany the sounds of the kid and the guests started clapping. The dance did not take long to start. The spontaneous musical call led Greek and foreign passers dancing the traditional "pentozali" from side to side in the old port...

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...
