Overview

This is a private tour with a 7-seater van for maximum 6 guests.
Chania is a melting pot of civilizations and cultures, each invader leaving its mark on history, architecture and culture. Chania is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe dating back to the Minoan civilization. Our drivers are locals, fluent in English, know this place intimately and love sharing the knowledge.
We will drive around the city and visit various sites for 2 hours, and for 2 hours more you could wander around the picturesque alleys on your own and have lunch. Will explain the culture and traditions and how they formed the modern day city of Chania. We are not allowed to walk or guide in the old town with travellers, because our license is for a driving tour.
You could extend the tour, by visiting either the archaeological museum, do wine tasting or spend more time in Chania.
You can extend the tour for 3 hours and visit a beach or mountain restaurant and have lunch for an extra cost.

Chania lighthouse is the oldest light house in the Mediterranean, built in 1864. The lighthouse is the main landmark of Chania. The tower is 21m high and is built on a stone base, located at the end of the old harbour's pier opposite to the fortress of Firkas. Visitors are not allowed to enter the lighthouse. Chania lighthouse was first constructed by the Venetians around 1600, destroyed in the siege of Chania and it took its final form, in the shape of a minaret, during the Egyptian occupation. It was restored in 1996.
Firkas Fortress
  • 5m
  • Admission ticket included
The fortress of Firkas on the northwest side of the port of Chania was constructed between 1610 and 1645 to protect the Venetian harbour entrance from raiders. After the fall of the city of Chania in the hands of the Turks in 1645, it was renamed “Firka” which in Turkish means “barrack”. On the northern side of the Firka fortress were six consecutive domes, that sheltered the large cannons, so that they would face the entrance of the harbor and face any possible attacker. The Firka Fortress was used as a prison since then and up to the Greek civil war of the 20th century. During the Ottoman rule, the Firka Fortress constituted the seat of the military governor of the city. It is the place where the Greek flag was raised, in 1913, the year of the reunion of Crete with Greece. Today, at the entrance of the Fortress is situated the Maritime Museum.
