Detached House for Sale in Fournes. Location Information:
Fournes is a Village in Moussouri in Chania in the Crete Region of Greece.
It is a small village built against the hills on the route from Chania and Armeni to the village of Lakki and the Omalos Plateau.
In this village is the crossroad to (right hand side) Omalos and the Samaria Gorge and (left hand side) the village of Meskla with its orange fields and Byzantine churches (f.i. the church of the Virgin Mary and the Church of Christ Saviour). In Fournes are the remains of a small castle which is named "kastro".
Chania is just 15 minutes away and is considered to be the most poetic city of Crete; when you walk through it, it leaves you with a pleasant taste of beauty. Chania’s Venetian port, picturesque at any time and season, is attractive to visitors and locals for its beauty and for its choices of entertainment for all tastes and demands.
The “Old Town” consists of the old Venetian harbour and the small Venetian blocks located behind the harbour; it is characterized by narrow and picturesque alleys – similar to an enchanting labyrinth – full of life, and the plentiful remaining Venetian and Turkish buildings.
The Lighthouse, the Fortress of Firka, the Mosque of Kioutsouk Hasan, the Great Arsenali and the Neoria have become landmarks of the city.
Most of the buildings are rejuvenated and they compose a puzzle of contemporary, Venetian and Turkish architecture; they are also a ‘living’ exhibition of the city’s history.
Today they work as shops, taverns, cafes and touristic accommodations.
The most famous part of the Old Town is the lively round waterfront along the Venetian harbour, which is full of small hotels, cafes, restaurants, taverns and bars. The Lighthouse at the end of the harbour is a landmark of Chania.
