Old Town Chania Highlights - Express Walking Tour

Lets explore the most beautiful landmarks and secret corners of the biggest Old Town in the island. We will start walking backwards in time from the city centre, to visit the remains of the medieval walls, the Jewish and Venetian quarters, the ruins of ancient Greek monuments and even the prehistoric sites where tragic stories have surfaced. We will stop at the most picture-worthy spots to absorb all the beauty of the town, so you can then impress your friends & followers. This is the city where I was raised so I have a lot of secrets to share that Google can't tell you about. . . it doesn't know in which ruins young couples meet for their first date, or what happens when storms hit the harbour, or where local students go to hide when they skip school! Kindly note that his tour is designed to leave you with enough time & energy to do your local shopping, drinking and lunching or dining. And, however short, it will leave you wanting more, so be ready to book your next trip to Chania by the end of the day!
