Our adventure begins at the iconic Municipal Market, a bustling hub where locals gather. Steeped in history, this market symbolizes the unification of Crete with Greece over a century ago.
We'll wind our way through charming cobblestone streets, revealing lesser-known corners of the Venetian Old Port. Along the way, you'll hear captivating tales of legendary buildings, notable figures, and historic rebellions. These stories may seem like fiction, but rest assured, they are rooted in reality.
Discover funky and alternative bars, perfect for a return visit, and explore beloved local shops, including a cooperative dedicated to preserving the region's crafts and culinary treasures. By supporting local producers and artisans directly, they uphold the essence of Crete's vibrant culture.
Next, we'll guide you to a hidden vantage point offering a breathtaking view of the old port against the backdrop of a captivating sunset. Capture the mesmerizing moment and share your unforgettable experience with the world through your Instagram stories.
As twilight descends, we'll navigate Chania's labyrinthine streets to a secret garden nestled within a historic building. Here, you'll be treated to an indulgent feast of local wine and gourmet delights. Accompanied by a knowledgeable sommelier, you'll embark on an exclusive wine tasting experience featuring exceptional locally acclaimed wines. Each sip will be paired with a delectable three-course organic dinner, allowing you to savor the flavors of Cretan cuisine—one of the healthiest in the world. Expand your knowledge of Cretan wine varieties and immerse yourself in the culinary treasures of the region.
For those with a sweet tooth, fear not, as our tour includes a sinful delight: the most delicious ice cream made from fresh local sheep milk, nuts, fruits, and other delightful ingredients.
No Chania by night experience would be complete without indulging in the local favorite—sipping "raki" shots, our renowned grape-based spirit, while mingling with friendly locals at a popular venue.
