The Chania Municipal Market, one of the most iconic landmarks in Crete's old town, is targeting a reopening in September 2026 after an extended restoration period. The historic covered market, built in 1913 and shaped like a cross, has been closed for several years while undergoing structural and aesthetic renovation work. Located in the heart of Chania near the Venetian harbor, it traditionally housed local vendors selling fresh produce, spices, cheese, olive oil, and Cretan specialties.
