The switching on of the lights on the Christmas tree in the Market Square and a rich program of dance, music and carols, started the Christmas events in the municipality of Chania on Sunday.
Hania mayor, Mr. Kyriakos Virvidakis, said during his opening speech ‘Citizens, and visitors can enjoy the beauty of the square of the Municipal Market. This year, despite the economic crisis and cuts in Local Government spending, events will be highly upgraded and will include events in the square of the Municipal Market, the Public Garden and the old Customs House from December 23 until January 6. We call upon all citizens, all residents and visitors to enjoy this year's celebrations, happy with their family, with health and peace. I hope that 2010 is happy and productive.”
The Christmas programme includes an ice skating rink and carousels in the market square and a new playground in the Kipos (Municipal Gardens).
The small scating .. sorry skating! ... rink is to the side of the Agora.
