The village of Mournies, located just south of Chania in western Crete, is set to undergo a major public space renovation following the signing of a contract for the project. The works, valued at over 1.1 million euros, will cover the redesign and improvement of shared communal areas throughout the village. While specific completion timelines have not been announced, visitors travelling between Chania city and the surrounding inland villages should expect some disruption in the Mournies area during construction. The project aims to enhance the quality of public spaces for both residents and visitors. Mournies is a short drive from Chania old town and is known for being the birthplace of Eleftherios Venizelos, Greece's prominent statesman, making it a point of interest for tourists exploring the broader Chania region.
