Vryses

Vryses village is 16 km away from Chania on the main road from Chania to Rethymnon. The village is famous throughout Crete for the traditional lifestyle and products. A river cross the island and on the bridge you’ll find taverns, shops and cafes.
It has retained much of its shady charm, interspersed with busts of heroic, grandly moustachioed Cretans.
Locals come here to picnic and swim in its creek. The village is famous throughout Crete for its thick, creamy yoghurt. Served in the cafes beneath the plane trees as you come into the village, it's best eaten with a large spoonful of honey on top.

There are extensive ruins of one of the most important archaeological sites in the Chania area. Some archaeologists (Pococke and Spratt) believe Vryses to be ancient Kydonia while others identify it as the ancient city of Pergamum. The place was first inhabited in the Neolithic period. Interesting Neolithic finds, chiefly pottery, have come from the cave of Kera Spiliotissa, near Vryses. The position of the Minoan town that flourished there enabled it to control the fertile plains of Platania and Alikianos, which form the western part of the Kydonia eparchy. Kourna’s Lake is near Vryses.
