Halepa, Chania, is a significant historical suburb of Chania, in Crete, best known for the bilateral "Halepa Agreement" signed there on October 15, 1878, between the Ottoman Empire and a delegation of the Cretan Assembly, as a result of the international Treaty of Berlin, which had been agreed three months earlier.
Overview
Halepa is located northeast of Chania on the hills that overlook the isthmus connecting the Akrotiri Peninsula with the plain of Chania. It began to be settled in the early 19th century by affluent residents of Chania, who transformed it into a prestigious aristocratic suburb, with luxurious villas, large gardens, and tree-lined streets, giving it the appearance of a European resort extending to the relatively steep coastline with numerous small coves and a stunning view of Chania and the bay of the same name. In Halepa was the residence of the General Governor of Crete at the time, as well as the villas of the consuls of the Great Powers, and the French Convent School for Girls of the Saint Joseph Order.
Later, this suburb was also chosen by High Commissioner Prince George, who built his villa there—often referred to by locals as the "palace"—as well as by Eleftherios Venizelos, who made Halepa his permanent residence. Venizelos' summer house, built by his father, Kyriakos Venizelos, a merchant from Chania, is now a museum and study foundation located very close to Prince George's villa. During his time as High Commissioner of Crete, Prince George, using the salary he received from Russia as an admiral of the imperial fleet, built the Church of Saint Magdalene in Halepa, in Russian style, with its characteristic dome.
At the northwest end of the coastline, where the shore is smoother, there is now a small fishing harbor, while the old tanneries that had once flourished in the area have now been abandoned. Nonetheless, Halepa remains one of the most distinguished suburbs of Chania, with notable tourist development.
