Explore the Old Venetian Harbour of Chania on a private tour. Wander through the Old Town, enjoy lunch in a charming taverna, and visit the Maritime Museum of Crete and the Archaeological Museum of Chania.
The old harbour of Chania is a picturesque Venetian-era port built in the 14th century, once used for trade and naval purposes. Today, it’s the heart of the Old Town, lined with colourful buildings, waterfront cafés, and tavernas. Its highlight is the 16th-century lighthouse, a symbol of the city, standing proudly at the harbor’s edge.
Find historic landmarks like the Yiali Tzami (a former Ottoman mosque), old arsenals, and charming cobblestone paths perfect for a scenic stroll. By day or night, the harbour offers breathtaking views and a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere filled with history, culture, and beauty.
Lunch in Chania Old Town means savouring fresh seafood, crisp salads, and traditional Cretan dishes like moussaka and dakos, all served in charming tavernas by the sea or in flower-filled alleys, with local wine, warm hospitality, and stunning views completing the experience.
