Chania Town

Discover the charm and diversity of Chania, one of Crete’s most captivating cities, on a private tour that blends history, culture, and seaside relaxation. Chania is a city where Venetian architecture, Ottoman influences, and modern Greek life coexist beautifully. Begin your experience with a visit to the Old Harbour, a historic gem lined with waterfront cafes, art galleries, and colorful buildings. Wander through its narrow alleys, admire the iconic Egyptian lighthouse, and take in the unique blend of cultures that have shaped the city over centuries.
Next, leave the city behind and journey into the peaceful countryside to visit the Agia Triada Monastery, a magnificent 17th-century complex surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Known for its striking Venetian architecture and spiritual ambiance, the monastery is also home to a small museum and a cellar where you can taste traditional Cretan wine and olive oil produced by the monks.
After exploring this cultural treasure, it’s time to unwind at Marathi Beach, a serene coastal spot with soft sands and shallow, turquoise waters—ideal for a refreshing swim or a relaxed seaside meal at one of the local tavernas. Unlike more crowded beaches, Marathi offers a calm and family-friendly environment, with stunning views of Souda Bay.
The tour concludes with a stop at the Graves of Eleftherios and Sofoklis Venizelos, perched on a hill overlooking the city and sea. These peaceful grounds are not only the final resting place of one of Greece’s most important historical figures but also a panoramic viewpoint offering one of the best vistas of Chania.
This 5-hour round trip is perfect for travelers looking to experience the essence of Chania in comfort and style, combining iconic sights with hidden gems—all made easy with a private transfer service that ensures a relaxed, flexible schedule tailored to your pace.
