A documentary titled "The Sisters of Galatas" is being screened at the Cultural Center of Chania (Pneumatiko Kentro Chanion). The film tells the true story of three sisters whose lives were dramatically altered by the German invasion of Crete during World War II, offering a deeply personal perspective on one of the island's most significant and painful historical chapters. The village of Galatas, located just west of Chania, was the site of fierce fighting during the Battle of Crete in May 1941. Admission is free and open to the public. This screening is a worthwhile opportunity for visitors interested in Cretan history and wartime memory. The Cultural Center is centrally located in Chania town, making it easy to combine with an afternoon visit to the Old Town or Venetian harbor.
