Sabbionara Gate and Bastion

You'll discover one of three original gates from Chania's second Venetian fortification wall at this historic bastion, also known as Kum Kapi, positioned just east of the Old Port. The Sabbionara Gate translates to "Sand Gate" and offers you a tangible piece of the city's layered maritime defense system. From here, you can easily walk to the famous Chania Lighthouse for spectacular harbor views, making it a perfect starting point to explore the atmospheric old fortifications that once protected this strategic Cretan port.
