It is located on a small hill right next to the seafront and has always been the ideal place for a settlement due to its secure position, its location next to the harbour and its proximity to the fertile valley in the south. Nowadays it is a bit more quiet than the neighbouring areas of the west part of the district. The Splantzia quarter (next to the east part of Kasteli) is also largely untouched. </p><p>The main square of the Old Town (next to the west end of Kasteli) is <a href="/wiki/Eleftherios_Venizelos" title="Eleftherios Venizelos">Eleftherios Venizelos</a> Square, also known as <i>Syntrivani</i> (from Turkish <i>şadırvan</i> 'fountain'). It is the heart of the tourist activities in the area. Next to this (on the west side) lies the Topanas district, which was the <a href="/wiki/Christians" title="Christians">Christian</a> quarter during the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman</a> period. Its name comes from the Venetian ammunition warehouse (Turkish <i>tophane</i>), which was located there. The <a href="/wiki/Jewish" class="mw-redirect" title="Jewish">Jewish</a> quarter (<i>Evraiki</i> or <i>Ovraiki</i>) was located at the north-west of the Old Town, behind the harbour and within the borders of Topanas. The Topanas area has many narrow alleys and old buildings, some of which have been restored as hotels, restaurants, shops and bars. This makes it a popular place especially during the warm period (April–October). In the winter, it still remains a centre of activities (especially for nightlife). </p><p>Finally, a very distinctive area of the Old Town is the <a href="/wiki/Harbour" class="mw-redirect" title="Harbour">harbour</a> itself and generally the seafront. Akti Tompazi, Akti Kountouriotou and Akti Enoseos (<a href="/wiki/Marina" title="Marina">marina</a>) all feature several historical buildings and nightlife.

Retrieved <span class="nowrap">March 31,</span> 2012</span>. <q>Cydonia is one of the five great cities of Minoan Crete, although exact location of the ancient city was not even resolved until the latter half of the 20th century. The most powerful centre of western Crete, Cydonia produced Bronze Age pottery and Linear B writings circa 1700 to 1500 BC, and was one of the first cities of Europe to mint coinage. A temple of Britomartis was erected on Mount Tityros near the city. HISTORY Cydonia was likely established as a Neolithic settlement in the fourth millennium BC. Archaeological excavations in the old town of present day Chania have revealed the remains of Middle Minoan Period Cydonia. These explorations are difficult, since the entire Venetian city of Chania was developed over Cydonia, with virtually no recorded medieval or modern mention of the ancient city specifics until the first finds in 1965. (Andreadaki, ) Ancient mention of the civilization in Cydonia is also made by Polybius, Strabo, Scylax and by Hanno in the <i>Periplus</i>. (Smith, 1878) Pashley was able to work out rather accurately the location of ancient Cydonia without any archaeological data; he deduced the location near the port and Old Town from passages in the classical literature.
