Chalepa is a historic and aristocratic district located northeast of Chania, Crete, along the coastal road leading to the Akrotiri peninsula. In the 19th century, it became the preferred residential area for affluent Chanians, who built impressive mansions surrounded by lush gardens, giving the neighborhood a European flair. The district is renowned for its significant historical events, notably the signing of the "Convention of Chalepa" in 1878 between the Ottoman Empire and representatives of the Cretan Assembly, which granted autonomy to the island. Chalepa was also home to prominent figures and institutions, including the residence of Eleftherios Venizelos, a leading Greek statesman, which now functions as a museum. Additionally, the area hosted the consulates of major powers and the French School of Saint Joseph. Architecturally, Chalepa boasts landmarks such as the Church of Saint Magdalene, built between 1901 and 1903 in the Russian style by Prince George of Greece. Another notable area is Tabakaria, the historic quarter where traditional leather tanneries were once active, adding to the district's unique character. Today, Chalepa remains one of Chania's most distinguished neighborhoods, reflecting its rich history and cultural heritage.
