Overview
Historical walking tour of the town of Chania.
Through old neighborhoods, the ancient port, and churches of different religious faiths, the city encloses in itself a trace of every civilization that left its mark on Crete.
In this walking tour, we will see every monument of the city, whose history will be explained and linked to the story of Chania and Crete, from the Minoan civilization up to the modern era and its struggle against the Ottoman Turks and its reunion with Greece in the 20th century.
Every monument tells us a piece of this intricate story, in which some surprising players left a deep mark, such as the occupation from Venice that lasted 400 years!
If you’re curious to find out more about the fascinating blend of civilizations that characterizes the town of Chania, join this tour.
