Location

Koum Kapi is the district just outside the east walls of the old town of Chania.

The name Koum Kapi is Turkish in origin and means Sand Gate (Kum Kapisi). There is indeed a gate in the Venetian walls here, leading to a sandy beach.
In the mid-19th century there was a Bedouin village at Koum Kapi, the district of the Halikoutes as they were called. Two to three thousand people, mostly working as boatmen, porters and servants, lived there in rush huts. No trace of the quarter remains today, and the huts have been replaced by smart, trendy cafeterias.

In the exterior of the east Venetian walls, near the sandy beach, a village of poor North African slaves and Ottomans was built. They lived in tents and huts and did all the harsh jobs in the portside.

Today "Koum Kapi" is one of the most developed districts of the city which gathers thousands of visitors every summer who come to enjoy the view to the sea and the numerous high quality cafeterias and restaurants. The area is one of the prettiest parts of Chania, where the young people of Chania go to amuse themselves, especially on summer evenings.
