Top Pet-Friendly Attractions in Chania, Venetian Harbour, Splantzia & Firkas

16th-century Venetian fortress at the western entrance of the harbour, where the Greek flag was raised in 1913 to mark the union with Crete. The outer ramparts and courtyard are dog-accessible; the small Maritime Museum inside is not.

The Ottoman-era quarter north-east of the cathedral, organised around the shaded Plateia 1821 with its giant plane tree. The most atmospheric and least touristy part of the Old Town, dog-welcoming cafés on the square year-round.

Cruciform covered market hall built in 1913 to celebrate Crete's union with Greece, modelled on the Marseille market. 76 stalls of fish, meat, cheese, herbs and souvenirs. Dogs not allowed in the food-stall corridors but the outer courtyard is fine.
