'''Cydonia''' or '''Kydonia''' was an important ancient [[city-state]] on the northwest coast of the island of [[Crete]]. It is at the site of the modern-day Greek city of [[Khania]]. In legend Cydonia was founded by King [[Cydon]], a son of [[Hermes]] and of [[Akakallis]], the daughter of King [[Minos]].

 

 

The exact location of Kydonia was not understood until [[Robert Pashley]] worked it out<ref>Pashley, 1837</ref> based solely on ancient historical literature, without any [[archaeological]] recovery;<ref>Hogan, 2008</ref> Kydonia was centred around the present day harbour area and [[Kastelli Hill]]. Today's archaeological recoveries from the ancient city of Kydonia are largely stored in the [[Khania Archaeological Museum]] in present day Khania.
