ll the history and charm of Crete are contained in Chania’s Old Town, with multicultural influences (Venetian, Ottoman, Jewish and more) on display alongside traditional tavernas and modern restaurants and a choice of waterfront cafes and bars.
You’ve probably already seen photos of Chania Old Town, with its cobbled streets, Venetian port and famous lighthouse – a setting made all the richer once you’ve learned about the legacy of the Arabs, Venetians and Ottomans who once occupied Crete. So while you’ll undoubtedly enjoy the enchanting beaches, outstanding cuisine and much-vaunted hospitality of the locals in one of the most popular destinations in Greece, it’s worth dedicating part of your holidays in Crete to exploring the Old Town of Chania.
Our walking tour of Chania Old Town introduces you to the architectural, culinary and cultural legacy of the capital of Crete’s easternmost region. Exploring the narrow alleyways, you’ll discover the Jewish and Muslim districts and pass by some of the best tavernas and trendiest bars in Chania town, as well as souvenir shops and museums. So make sure you’re wearing a comfortable pair of shoes and put all of Chania’s world-famous beaches on hold (they’ll still be there when you’re done) and join us as we introduce you to the best of Chania Old Town.
