Holy Metropolitan Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary (Trimartiri)

A stunning Greek Orthodox church right in the heart of Chania's old town. The interior is beautifully ornate with intricate religious iconography and golden accents that take your breath away. Entry is free like most Greek Orthodox churches, making it an easy stop while exploring the area. The peaceful atmosphere inside offers a quiet moment of reflection away from the busy streets. Even if you're not religious, the artistic craftsmanship and historical value make it worth a brief visit. Perfect location for combining with a walk through central Chania!

Visiting this metropolitan church in Crete was a truly impressive experience, combining architectural beauty with a deep sense of spiritual tranquility. The interior is remarkably rich: the carved and finely painted iconostasis, the bright icons, and the large chandeliers create an atmosphere that is both solemn and welcoming. Every corner feels filled with history and devotion, and the natural light shining through the windows highlights the vivid colors of the frescoes. The church is very well maintained, and the space conveys a strong sense of respect and continuity. It is a place where the authenticity of Greek Orthodox tradition can be felt immediately, offering visitors the chance to appreciate both the artistic details and the peaceful environment. Even if you are not religious, the artistic beauty and serene atmosphere make this church worth discovering. The local staff or volunteers are generally friendly and open, often willing to offer guidance or historical context to those who are interested. I highly recommend visiting this church to anyone traveling in the area—whether for photography, for cultural appreciation, or simply for a quiet moment of reflection. It is without a doubt a cultural and spiritual landmark that perfectly complements the charm of Crete.

This centrally located church is free to enter, and can be a little busy with tourists. It’s small inside, but can see the icons, art, and historical features.

I would give zero stars if possible. I see other reviews here with interior photos. Yet I was about to take a picture and a woman shouted at me in a very rude way "NO PHOTOS". Could she have spoken nicely and said please?.... Very rude. Now I am not interested to go inside any churches thanks to this rude outburst.

Beautiful small church, interesting architecture, reminds me of Spanish churches. The outside is in a very nice color and it matches perfectly with the buildings around it. There is a juice shop near the building that makes very nice juices. The inside of the church is also small but beautiful.

A church of beautiful architecture both on the inside and on the outside. Contains great works of art. It is in a plaza next to the historic Chalidon street, which you should definitely walk if you visit Chania.

Beautiful well looked after old church , great carved door to the front and some great historical artefacts on the interior worth a visit if passing not so sure if you have to travel from afar

A large, impressive building with beautiful byzantine icons... A good option for feeling a bit calmer, making a prayer for someone you love, outside the other tourist spots in Chania
