До пристанището има няколко исторически сгради, ресторанти и нощни заведения покрай главната улица Халидон, която свързва старата с новата част на града.
The view towards the city's lighthouse is so spectacular that the locals say, "In Crete you cry twice, once when you arrive and once when you leave." The harbourside boasts several historic buildings, thriving restaurants and nightlife along the main Halidon Street, which connects the Old Town with the new.
