This is a private sightseeing escapade in a 7-seat vehicle that accommodates up to 6 participants (the quoted price is applicable for 6 people). Since antiquity, Chania has served as a crucible for multiple civilizations and cultures, each contributing its signature to the city’s historical narrative, architectural aesthetics and cultural milieu. This city boasts the distinction of being Europe’s longest continuously populated city, tracing its origins back to the Minoan civilization circa 5,000BC.
Our journey endeavors to identify the historical fingerprints left behind by various civilizations in the city’s edifices and landmarks. As we traverse along the waterfront, through the side streets, past fortifications and vantage points, we will examine the imprints of history. Witness the transformation of Chania over centuries, the structures that were raised and the ruins that remain. A tour through the erstwhile Christian, Muslim and Jewish districts will reveal lesser-known historical attractions.
Despite its prime emphasis on history, our tour will also delve into Chania’s customs and cultural heritage, and how these elements have amalgamated to sculpt the Chania we see today!
