Fantastic day in Chania - We had a fantastic day in Chania! Stayos was our private guide for the day and he took us through some off the beaten path places and also to the old Port. He went out of his way to ensure all our needs were met. He was fun and made sure we enjoyed our day. The wine tasting at the monastery was an incredible experience and the knowledgeable staff gave us wonderful information and delicious wine. Highly recommend this tour!!!
