Chania Walking Tour & Afternoon At Leisure
Your guide will greet you at your hotel, ready for a tour of Chania Town. This private walking tour offers a deeper look into the city's lesser-explored streets and neighborhoods, where history and tradition come to life. Strolling through the Old Town, you’ll follow the footsteps of Venetians, Ottomans, and ancient Cretans, uncovering stories from the cobbled streets.

Along the way, you’ll come across breathtaking viewpoints that offer views of the harbor, as well as historic buildings that reflect centuries of cultural influences. The ruins of Minoan Kydonia and the impressive Byzantine-Venetian fortifications stand as reminders of Chania’s layered past. As you walk, you’ll hear stories of the city’s evolution through five ancient civilizations, learning about their architecture, traditions, and lasting impact. Experience the soul of Chania, and discover the details that often go unnoticed. With every turn, the city reveals another layer of its past, creating an experience that lingers long after the journey ends. The rest of the day is then yours to use at your own pace.
