Iordanis Bougatsa
Μπουγάτσα Ιορδάνης
A century-old shop founded in 1924 that specializes in freshly baked bougatsa, a Chania classic for breakfast.
Located at 24 Apokoronou Street, near the Municipal Market. Founded in 1924, it is said to be Chania's oldest bougatsa shop and is now run by the fourth generation of the family. The pastry is baked fresh: the savoury version uses local cheese, while the sweet version is filled with custard. Only the day's quantity is made, and it usually sells out by late morning. Locals queue around 7 a.m., but the line moves quickly. Prices are about EUR 3-5 per person, and some sources say it accepts cash only. Be careful not to confuse it with another bougatsa shop on the same street.
Opening hours
Monday-Saturday 06:00-14:30; Sunday 06:00-13:30; closes when sold out
