Join us for a late afternoon sunset tour through the medieval town of Chania and the old port, uncovering the city's hidden gems and local traditions.

Start your tour by meeting us in front of the Kydon Hotel, the locals’ main hangout spot.

Explore the windy cobblestone back streets of the Venetian Old Port, hearing tales and myths about unique old buildings, famous locals, and rebellions. These fascinating stories, though they sound like fiction, are entirely real!

Next, head to a perfect vantage point for the most captivating sunset, with the old port in the foreground. Capture breathtaking photos for your Instagram as the sun sets.

As the light fades, we’ll roam Chania’s labyrinthine streets to a secret garden in a historic building for a local wine and food appreciation feast. Participate in an exclusive wine-tasting session of award-winning local wines, presented by a qualified sommelier, paired with a three-course organic gourmet dinner. Learn about Cretan wine varieties and the renowned Cretan cuisine.

For sweet lovers, delight in the most delicious ice cream made from fresh local sheep milk, nuts, fruits, and other ingredients.

Your Chania-by-night tour concludes with a nightcap in a local venue, sipping “raki” shots, the local grape-based spirit, and mingling with locals.
