Dimotiki Agora Chanion
Dimotiki Agora Chanion, Market hall in central Chania, Greece
The Municipal Market of Chania spans 4,000 square meters with a cross-shaped layout featuring four grand entrances and 76 merchant spaces inside.
The market opened in December 1913 with Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos leading the ceremony, marking a significant moment just after Crete joined Greece.
The building combines local commerce traditions with architectural elements inspired by the Marseille covered market, representing early 20th-century Greek modernization.
Visitors can purchase fresh produce, meats, seafood, local honey, olive oil, and traditional Cretan products from numerous vendors throughout the market halls.
During World War II, the market included an air raid shelter on its southeast side and later served as a supply center for German occupation forces.
