An indoor shopping destination of impressive proportions, the Municipal Market of Chania is a historic monument too. Its building started in 1911 and ended in the second half of 1913. On December 4, 1913, the Greek Prime Minister, Eleftherios Venizelos, declared the market officially open for the public. It was just three days after Crete’s unification with Greece.
Shopping at the Municipal Market will be a rewarding experience if you are seeking insight into the lifestyle of the locals. Besides grocery stores, the market has many shops selling authentic crafts and souvenirs. You can find here leather and lace made in Chania, and several other artifacts to remind you of your trip to Crete.
Address: Pl. Agoras 69
