Chatzimichali Ntaliani Street, Chania

Chatzimichali Ntaliani Street, also known as Daliani Street, is pedestrianized and lined with bars and restaurants that are all a-buzz at night. During the day, the street is thronged with souvenir shops and cafes. It is close to Dimotiki Agora, the Municipal Market. The Cathedral of Chania and the Ahmed Aga Minaret are within walking distance.

A walk down Daliani leads directly to the heart of the Turkish quarter of the Old Town. It was once the Ottoman Turkish district of the city. The dozens of restaurants lining the street serve traditional Cretan dishes every evening. In front of the Ahmed Aga Minaret is the 16th-century Venetian Monastery of Karolo. Wine is served on the patio.

A little further along the street brings one to the Splantzia neighborhood. Recently the area of Splantzia has been converted from a poor quarter to a popular "watering hole." There are dozens of cafes, restaurants, and taverns. All the different cultures that have passed through Chania can be felt here.
