Send Flowers to Chania, Greece

Few harbours in Greece are as photographed as the Venetian port of Chania, with its lighthouse, waterfront arcades and the narrow lanes of the old town behind. Beyond the walls, the city spreads into Halepa with its neoclassical mansions, the beach district of Nea Chora and the newer housing towards Souda and the Akrotiri peninsula, where the Technical University of Crete has its campus.

Western Crete has a notable foreign community: retirees and remote workers from Britain, Germany and Scandinavia in the villages of Apokoronas, and military families connected with the base at Souda Bay. Add Cretans living abroad, and a good share of orders arrive from other time zones. Spring comes early here and wild flowers cover the hillsides by March, while July and August are hot and dry.

You can send flowers to Chania for next-day delivery, Monday to Saturday, by ordering before midnight Greek time. A florist in the area prepares everything by hand. For village houses, add landmarks and a phone number in the delivery instructions. Sundays and main public holidays are excluded.
