Going west on Hatzi Michali Yannari street and passing Odos Episkopi, down towards the old section of Chania, you will come to the 1866  Square and Halidon street.

The newly renovated 1866 Square is an important landmark in Chania. The square has statues of local war heroes and a Turkish fountain.

On the southwest corner of the square, behind the Samaria and Omalos Hotels, is the long distance bus station (KTEL). Buses leave frequently from here for Iraklion, Rethimnon, Kastelli, Omalos and the Samaria Gorge, and other villages of the Nomos of Chania (See Transportation). There is an information booth in the station.
