The War Museum of George A. Hatzidakis is situated in the village of Kares in Askifou, some 55km south of Chania, at an altitude of about 750 metres.
In all the rooms as well as the courtyard of the museum, there are over 2000 artifacts related to World War II, such as rifles, revolvers, swords, mortars, helmets, shells, grenades, bombs, mines, cannon balls, binoculars, military uniforms, even the propeller of a plane shot down in the Battle of Crete.

The late owner Mr George Hatzidakis travelled all over the island to collect every vestige of the battle so as to keep alive the glorious memory of our ancestors and to stimulate younger to deal with their history.
It is an exquisite museum, solely funded by the deceased owner and his son.
