What To Expect

Experience the unique beauty and culture of Chania by joining this amazing small group walking tour through one of Greece’s most picture-pretty cities. Chania has everything: ancient ruins, centuries-old monuments, strong local traditions, and exquisite cuisine that you get to taste during the tour. Leave your guidebook aside and follow your local guide into traditional neighborhoods and lesser-known corners – each spot, every backstreet you’ll pass along has a story to tell!

Wander through layers of history and cultural influences, listening to myths of the Old Town.
Meet local artisans in their workshop and even try your own skills.
Explore the town’s century-old market with the local Cretan products and groceries.
Watch how phyllo is handmade by one of Greece’s last pastry masters.
Stroll around the old Ottoman and Jewish Quarters and discover the “Street of the Knives” as well as other off-the-beaten-path corners.
Taste local mezedes and sip raki at a historic neighborhood.
