Overview of your Chania tour
Follow me on a quest to explore the Monasteries of Chania. As a tourist guide accredited by the Greek Ministry of Tourism, I will show you the monasteries contributing to our island's sacred traditions! I will guide you through two of Chania's most iconic Monasteries. You will also experience hidden, unknown to the public, holy caves, chapels, shrines with spectacular views, and a one-of-a-kind underground church! I will also show you one of the earliest churches on the island, an unknown to the Public proto-Byzantine era church, and explain how the monastic ( and religious) tradition flows through the centuries: how we believed in Ancient Greek Gods, the links to Greek Mythology, the Roman period of Crete, & how Greece followed Christianity. I guarantee that our Chania Monastery Private Tour will be your holiday's pinnacle: Great views, Monastic life, historical aspects, countryside feel, and the essence of Authentic Crete grants you an incredible journey with a knowledgeable guide!
