About the story
Chania was the site of a Minoan settlement, known from Linear B tablets from Knossos as having been named Ku-do-ni-ja (Mycenaean Greek: 𐀓𐀈𐀛𐀊). The subsequent Greek settlement was likewise known as Cydonia (Ancient Greek: Κυδωνία, Kydōnía), ultimately the source of the English word "quince".
Some notable archaeological evidence for the existence of this Minoan city below some parts of today's Chania was found by excavations in the district of Kasteli in the Old Town. This area appears to have been inhabited since the Neolithic Age
