In Chania, Crete | An Aerial Journey, filmmaker Paschalis Doumanis captures dramatic views of the splendid scenery in the Chania region of Crete

Scenic flight: If our recent post about the new tourism website for Chania got you considering a trip to Crete, this video by Pachalis Doumanis might be just the nudge you need to finalize your holiday booking.

With a running time of nearly three-and-a-half minutes, the film features  alluring aerial views of Chania, the city’s historic harbourfront and iconic 16th Century lighthouse, its beachfronts and coastlines, and the snow-capped Lefka Ori (White Mountains) nearby.

We only wish the video could have been longer, showing more of the Chania prefecture’s magnificent natural beauty; however, Doumanis has published other clips of Chania. If you’re interested in seeing them, take a look through the video playlist on his YouTube channel. The Chania films include some shot at sunrise and others at sunset, while there are clips of beautiful locations elsewhere in Greece that are also worth taking a peek at.
