    A beautiful church which is open free for public viewing. Have a peek inside, but please remember to be respectful.

    Set overlooking a flagstoned square, the church looks magnificent in the bright Chania sunshine. Inside, it's a wonderful example of Greek Orthodox devotion with iconography, worshippers and exampl,es of superb architectural, building, and artistic crafts. It'll take no more than 10 to 15 minutes of your day, and you won't regret the time.

    The Cathedral Trimartyri in the old town of Chania on the street Chalidon, which leads directly straight down to the port. The church is a three-nave basilica dating from 1860. In front of the church is a large square (Platia Athinagora). The church is very beautiful inside, as it is quite bright unlike other orthodox churches. The history of the church is very interesting for that: It was said to have been built on the foundations of another church, which was converted into a soap factory during Ottoman rule. Mustafa Pasha Giritli, the owner of this factory, was said to have donated this church to the Christians of Chania when he was appointed Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire. Only 37 years after the construction of the church ended the Ottoman rule over Chania.

    A church of beautiful architecture both on the inside and on the outside. Contains great works of art. It is in a plaza next to the historic Chalidon street, which you should definitely walk if you visit Chania.

    Beautiful small church, interesting architecture, reminds me of Spanish churches. The outside is in a very nice color and it matches perfectly with the buildings around it. There is a juice shop near the building that makes very nice juices. The inside of the church is also small but beautiful.
