Neoclassical Mansion for Sale in Chalepa, Chania. Location Information:
Chalepa is famous as the scene of the most important political events in 19th-century Crete.
Halepa, Chania, is built on a hill and extends towards the sea. On top of the hill, there is a breathtaking view of the city of Chania and the surrounding area, and you can find a couple of cafes that are known to the locals.
The most famous sight in the Halepa quarter is the House of Eleftherios Venizelos. The famous politician, who was one of the main political figures that shaped modern Greece, was born here in 1864. Venizelos House is an aristocratic house, characteristic of the wealthy families of Chania at the time.
In Halepa we also find the Palace of Prince George. Prince George has gone down in history as a weak politician that was for many historians the exact opposite of Venizelos in their era. It is not strange that the two of them confronted one another on a number of occasions.
In Halepa there is also an impressive church built in the Russian architectural style: the church of Agia Magdalini will certainly impress you.
Between the other known buildings in the area, possibly the most interesting is the old Greek Embassy and the old French Academy.
