The city of Chania can be divided into two parts: the old town and the modern city which is the larger one. The old town is situated next to the old harbour and is the matrix around which the whole urban area was developed.

It used to be surrounded by the old Venetian fortifications that started to be built in 1538. Of them, only the eastern and western parts have survived.

From the south, the old town is continuous with the new, and from the north the physical border is the sea.

The center of the modern city is the area extending next to the old town and especially towards the south.

The borders of the Old Town are the mostly destroyed old Venetian wall (and bulwarks) and this has been the cradle of all the civilizations which were developed in the area. The central part of the old town is named Kasteli and has been inhabited since Neolithic times.

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 is also largely untouched.
