One of my favorite walks in a non known part of Chania. The atmosphere of Tabakaria is opposite to the vivid streets downtown. There are no Venetian buildings, no Cretan Renaissance, no fancy boutiques. This is a forgotten snapshot of Greece, worth knowing because of the history, the landscape, and its unicity.

Old leather factories and warehouses next to the sea. A very interesting neghbourhood that is being transformed quickly.

A visit to Crete would be incomplete if one does not stroll and eat in the old tannery industry district of the city of Chania. Picturesque, dilapidated, renovated buildings mesh with the most ambient coastline. This in fact is the neighborhood I live in, so if you decide to visit let me know to give you a tour.

An unusual and not widely known part of Chania, Tabakaria is located 2,5km to the west from the old habrour. It is a place where in 19th century tanneries (for processing leather) were located. Now you will find there numerous workshops, most of them are closed but some are working. A nice place to visit for those who is tired of walking in the old habrour and wish to see something new withing a pleasant walking distance.

Visit Tabakaria a district with old leather processing houses found on the rocky eastern side of the city of Chania. The area was chosen for the following reasons: the abundant brackish subterranean waters used to soften leather, and its relative closeness to the city. Today some of the leather processing houses are still in operation. Adjusted to the natural properties of the land, the buildings have only one floor on the side of the street and two or three floors on the side of the sea. They are made of stone with tile roofs. They are built close to each other with very narrow, steep passages and steps going down to the sea. Tabakaria constitute a unique architectural complex.
