Overview of your Chania tour

Follow me on this Chania Walking Tour to see the best my town has to offer. As a licensed tourist guide, I have vast knowledge of Greece's rich history & culture. I start this walking tour in Chania's old town, where I will inform you about the various civilizations that ruled Crete to make what we are today. I focus on the town's Venetian and Ottoman past, although I will also unfold the hidden areas where traces of other civilizations are! I will also guide you through my island's top delicacies, agricultural produce, and local food to enhance your knowledge of Crete. Upon completing this city tour, I will drive you to the city's suburbs to better understand Chania town. An ascending road will lead me to show you possibly the most fabulous view of town by visiting Prophet Elijah Hill. I will explain our country's modern history while observing spectacular town views. Then, I will take you to devour Chania's most famous local dessert, known nationwide!
