About the tour
Join us for a special walk around Chania that will give you a better feel for the city than any guidebook. It's not just sightseeing – it's a chance to discover hidden treasures, feel the history and see what everyday life is like here.
We start at the Old Port, where history meets modern life. We pass the famous lighthouse and head into the narrow streets of the Turkish and Jewish quarters. We'll see Kastelli – the historic heart of ancient Kydonia, where excavations reveal the city's ancient past. We won't give everything away, but get ready for plenty of fascinating stories!
What you'll learn and see
- Local flavours: we'll tell you where to eat – from romantic restaurants to trusted tavernas with traditional food and spots for a quick, delicious lunch.
- Cretan coffee: we take a break at a local café, where we'll teach you how to order coffee like a real Cretan and try traditional sweets.
- Culture and traditions: we'll tell you how people live here, their customs and what makes Chania so special.
Highlights
- The Old Port and lighthouse – the city's icons, perfect for photos.
- Kastelli and ancient history – a walk through the centuries, from Minoan times to today.
- Multicultural quarters – the atmosphere of the Turkish and Jewish quarters right in front of you.
