Discover Chania, one of Crete's most beautiful cities, on a semi-private tour that will take you through 5,000 years of history as you explore its streets, monuments and historic quarters.
Also known as La Canea during the Venetian period, Chania is the second-largest city on Crete and is located in the northwest of the island. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, its privileged setting and beautifully preserved Old Town make it one of Crete's true gems.

During the tour, you will visit the Venetian Harbour, one of Chania's most iconic landmarks, and discover monuments reflecting the city's multicultural heritage. Highlights include the Mosque of the Janissaries, built during the Ottoman period, the famous Venetian Lighthouse, the former Jewish Quarter, historic churches, elegant mansions and remains of the ancient Minoan city.
