Northern-Crete coastal town between Chania and Heraklion — anchored by a Venetian-era fortress (Fortezza), a Venetian harbor, and the University of Crete. The Old Town (the dense walkable medieval core inside the Fortezza walls) is the typical anchor; the Periyali waterfront strip is the residential coastal alternative. Same Greek DNV (€3,500/mo income, 1-year + 1-year extension); Schengen. Roughly 20-25% cheaper than Chania on rent with the same Cretan-cuisine tradition and warmer-than-mainland sea temperatures.
