Highlights
  • bougatsa Chania - Breakfast in Chania.

Like true Cretans, we will start our day with a cup of strong Greek coffee, and for a quick immersion in the atmosphere of Crete, we will taste the famous Chania Bougatsa, in a local bakery that has been making traditional pastries for four generations.

  • Farmers’ Market - Laiki - Public and popular Farmers Market.

We start at the door of the Chania Public Market where we taste and discover the island’s unique dietary staples such as cheese, honey and bread.

We will visit the Farmers’ Markets, which are a tradition of the people of Chania.

Farmers markets in Crete or Laiki Agora - This is one of the most exciting events in Chania and a worthwhile experience for anyone who wants to get to know the real face of the city.

“Laiki” is a place where everyone buys fresh vegetables and fruits, which are sold by farmers who are proud of their products.

Here you can find almost everything: household essentials, and even some clothes, but the most important thing for which it is worth visiting Laiki, is the delicious high-quality products of local producers.

A variety of dairy products: cheeses made from sheep and goat milk, such as Graviera and Kefalotiri, cottage cheese - Mizithra, various types of feta, and of course, the famous Cretan yogurt.

  • Chania Old Town - Walk around Chania.

It would be dishonest not to show the romantically beautiful Chania in her morning veil. Venetian, Ottoman and Turkish proofs remind you of the multicultural past of the city to the accompaniment of my stories.

We will walk through the streets of the old town to visit some handicraft shops, as well as beautiful buildings and traditional neighborhoods.

And if you touch the beauty, then on the narrow stone streets with multi-colored walls, it’s time to open the cameras!

  • Orthodox Church of the Holy Prophet Elijah - We will then take a short drive to reach a privileged panoramic point from where we can see the entire city of Chania, the port and the White Mountains.

In a local cafe, we can relax and after taking beautiful photos we will return to the hotel.
