Prayer times in Chaniá — common questions

What time is Fajr in Chaniá today?

Fajr in Chaniá begins at 04:57 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Chaniá?

From Chaniá, the Qibla is 131.3° from true north — roughly SE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Chaniá?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Greece. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How far is Chaniá from Makkah?

Chaniá lies approximately 2194 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.

How much does daylight change through the year in Chaniá?

Day length in Chaniá ranges from about 9.8 hours at midwinter to 14.6 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.8 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
