Overview

Chania is a great introduction to Cretan history and all the island has to offer! Its monuments span over 5,000 years, from Minoan houses and streets dating back to 3,500 BC to the Byzantine, Arab, and Venetian walls, impressive arsenali (shipyards), mansions and cisterns of the Renaissance, Ottoman mosques and hamams of the early modern era, as well as modern structures such as the Agora, a covered market inaugurated in 1913.
During this tour through the old city of Chania, you will see and learn a lot about its monuments, explore the "hidden corners" of its old neighborhoods, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish, and get a deeper understanding of historic events as well as valuable context from social life, traditions, religion, and other local elements you might be interested in.
