Chania Old City Half Day Walking Tour

Being a historian, I can guarantee Chania is a great place to start with an introduction to Cretan history! Its monuments span over 5, 000 years, from Minoan houses and streets dating back to 3, 000 BC, to the Byzantine, Arab and Venetian walls, the impressive arsenali (shipyards), mansions and cisterns of the Renaissance, Ottoman mosques and hamams of the early modern era, and more modern buildings, such as the Agora, a covered market inaugurated shortly after union with Greece in 1913. During this tour through the old city of Chania you will see and learn a lot about its monuments, explore "hidden corners" of its old neighborhoods, Christian, Muslim and Jewish, and get a deeper understanding of historic events, as well as valuable context from social life, traditions, religion and other local elements you might be interested in. I can customize this tour according to your needs or interests.
