Full Itinerary

Let us introduce you to authentic Crete and our local traditions and customs by experiencing Chania like a local. Follow us on this late afternoon sunset tour through the old medieval town of Chania and the old port and discover all the hidden gems the city has to offer!

Begin your amazing tour by meeting us in front of the Kydon Hotel, the locals’ main meeting point for hanging out.

Through the windy cobblestone back streets, you’ll explore the lesser-known parts of the Venetian Old Port while hearing tales and myths about unique old buildings, famous locals, and rebellions, and keep in mind that although these stories sound like fiction, they are so real!

On your way, we’ll show you funky, alternative bars where you can hang out later, and visit favorite local stores such as a cooperative that is dedicated to the preservation of locally produced crafts and edibles and supports local producers and artisans directly.

Then, you’ll head to a perfect vantage point from where you can enjoy the most captivating sunset with the old port in the foreground. Watch the sun slowly make its descent and post some of your once-in-life Instagram stories from here!

As you capture the last rays of light, we’ll roam through Chania’s labyrinth streets to a  secret garden of a historic building for a local wine and food appreciation feast. Participate in an exclusive wine-tasting session of exceptional local wines with international awards, presented by a qualified sommelier, while pairing it with a three-course organic gourmet dinner. Here is the right place to learn everything about the Cretan wine varieties, and the Cretan cuisine, one of the healthiest worldwide.

For sweet lovers, you’ll be glad to know that after the wine tasting there is something more sinful on this tour: ice cream! We’ll introduce you to the most delicious ice cream ever, made from fresh local sheep milk, nuts, fruits, and other ingredients.

Your Chania-by-night tour wouldn’t be completed without drinking a nightcap in a local venue by sipping plenty of “raki” shots, our local spirit based on grapes, and mingling with locals.
