We are going for two weeks, we plan to rent a car,
It is clear that the whole island cannot be bypassed, and therefore the question is, what should you definitely visit in this part of the island (it turns out to be its northwestern part, 25 km from Chania)? thanks

There is nothing particularly remarkable in this part of the island, except for nature.
Still, be sure to go to Heraklion, visit the excavations of the Knossos Palace and the Archaeological Museum. It is about 150 km from Chania. And another beautiful town of Rethymno (halfway to Heraklion). In fact, the most picturesque places of the island are located to the east of the capital (Elounda, Agios Nikolaos), but this will be far away.

Not far from Chania there is (theris no gorce - gorge) further along this road Botanica park, towards the beautiful Falassarna beach. opoli gorge, church cave of St. Sophia, monasteries, Lafonisiisland-beach with pink sands, where you can swim at once in 3 seas Cretan, Libyan and Mediterranean. In Heraklion, apart from the Palace of Knossos, there is nothing to do and see. The beautiful city of Rethymno, about 70 km from Chania (but the road to Rethymno is good. You can go to the village of Malia, there is a rock with grats, beautiful. Yes, and when you rent a car, then often they give a map of Crete.If they recommend to go to the beach where the bounty advertisement was filmed, but this is not true, this advertisement was not filmed in Crete, this is the first, secondly there are date palm trees, thirdly, there was a storm and many palm trees were broken, and then they also got burned - there is nothing to see on this beach. You can still go on excursions (without a car) to the Samaria Gorge, but there you need a lot of strength, not everyone can stand walking along the gorge for 18 km.

You can visit Lake Kournas, Chania itself, be sure to go to the market there. Go to the Prevelli Monastery and the Golden Step Monastery, I don’t remember how in Greek (..... Skaleta)

The monastery is called Moni Chrusoskalitissas. For 4 years in a row we rested in Crete on the same side as you, we drove around it in some detail, but we didn’t go further than Heraklion by car, it’s very tiring, in our opinion, although it’s clear what everyone likes. Good luck, good weather and a big hello from our neighbor Latvia.

Be sure to Balos, if I understand correctly, not far from you. We lived in Bali and were not afraid of distance, it's worth it, I assure you!!! It's up to Kissamos on the national road, then follow the signs for "Port". INCREDIBLE feeling!!! Serpentine, adrenaline, and then such beauty opens!!! I don't think you will miss the day before Elafonisi. It is customary to give a road map when renting a car. Understand. Do not be shy, stop, ask the residents at gas stations. Read the signs. Caves, ruins... it's so cool, BUT... I have never seen such a color of the seas ANYWHERE! Have a good rest.

Thanks everyone for the replies. maybe someone will advise where it is more profitable to rent a car and the following topic is also interesting: An acquaintance, being in Crete, drove into some kind of wilderness-village, where they ended up at a distillery (as it seems to be called), where they make wine .. in short, they themselves tasted and with stocked up with themselves ... i.e. interesting and this side of the island, not a reference tourist, without this gloss ..)
