Chania Old Town Half Day Shore Excursion

Chania since the ancient times was a melting pot of civilizations and cultures, each invader and new town resident leaving its mark on history, architecture and culture. Chania is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe dating back to Minoan civilization around 3000BC. I have a special interest in history and as a local, know this place intimately and love sharing the knowledge. In this tour we will trace the remains of civilizations, in the buildings and monuments. We will walk through the waterfront, alleyways, fortifications, viewpoints and marks of the past. You will see how Chania has changed over time, the buildings added and destroyed. Will walk through the city and visit historic points of interest not so obvious to the average visitor. Will explain the culture and traditions of Chania and how they formed the modern day city of Chania. Travelers can add a few 45-minute options, depending on day, like wine tasting, street (fruit and vegetable) market, WW2 cemetery or a hand crafts location.
