Overview of your Chania tour

Welcome to my hometown, Chania. As a professional licensed guide, I love my town's highlights and the hidden places that only a few know! It's time to discover together! I start the tour by taking you to one of the most significant monasteries in town. Once you arrive at Holy Triad Monastery, I will guide you through its premises, explaining our island and country's rich past. Resuming our tour, I will drive you to one abandoned monastery completed in an undisclosed location, where you will experience possibly one of the most outstanding views of your Cretan holidays! After our stop, we ascend to the Cretan White Mountains to visit one Ottoman Chateau with phenomenal views and history. I will inform you about Cretan villages, our agricultural produce, our past and the hardships we have endured through the ages. Prior to the tour's conclusion, I will drive you once again to the backroads, offering you great photo opportunities and breathtaking views of Chania town!
