The lovely town of Chania is built around a beautiful Venetian harbor. A 15th-century lighthouse and numerous picturesque, narrow streets showcase the architectural influence of several foreign powers.
Follow your guide on a walk toward the center of Chania’s Old Town.
View the famous Market Hall from the outside as your guide tells you about its history.
Crete’s natural environment is delightfully encapsulated in the Botanic Gardens just outside Chania. Stroll among fruit trees, herbs, ornamental plants and large trees in this whopping 24,000-acre facility. Learn about the plants, breathe in the fresh air, and savor the scents of this sprawling plantation.
Now it’s time to learn how to create a traditional Cretan dish. As your light lunch is prepared in front of you, take a closer look at the ingredients used. The key to Cretan cooking is tasty simplicity. It will all seem very easy because you’ll be sampling locally-produced wines during the process.
