The tower is all that is left of an ancient mosque that was built during the Ottoman occupation of Crete in 1645, the same year that Chania fell to the Ottoman Turks. It is not well maintained and there is no public access.

A series of defensive walls were built around the city of Chania. The inner city walls were first built in antiquity (before the Middle Ages), and then rebuilt by the Byzantine Empire. The outer walls were built in the 16th century by the Republic of Venice. Some were demolished in the 20th century, but parts of both the Byzantine and Venetian walls remain intact.

This is a very busy creperie. Just a small amount of outdoor seating and always surrounded with customers. Just a block away is Funky's, a similar looking place, a tiny hole in the wall. Funky's is open 24 hours a day and is always surrounded with customers for their pizzas and salads.
