This pleasant walking tour will lead you through Chania and gives you a chance to discover this charming city that is quite rich in history.
After a coach transfer from the port to the center of town, set out on foot and follow your local guide along charming medieval streets. You will see a wide range of monuments from different periods -- some dating back hundreds of years. Churches, mosques, and synagogues can be found in close proximity; elegant Venetian houses stand near buildings, fountains and baths from the Turkish period.
View the famous Market Hall from the outside while learning about its history from your guide. His/her comments will include interesting anecdotes about the locals and historical facts about the buildings and landmarks that cross your path.
Your 1.5-hour walk will finish at the colorful and charming harbor area. It is small but brims with bustling tavernas, cafés and tradesmen's shops. Enjoy some free time to purchase a coffee (at your own expense) or to shop for a souvenir before returning to the ship.
Notes: The market hall is closed due to reconstruction it is replaced with the old city market and shops where guests can still find souvenirs and local products. Wear comfortable walking shoes. This tour is not recommended for guests with mobility challenges due to uneven grounds, inclines, prolonged walking/standing, steps or similar.
