Did you know that Chania has been inhabited since the Neolithic Period? We’d love to share the amazing history of this little town with you on this self-guided audio tour.
You’ll discover its remarkable architecture along the way, including a magnificent lighthouse, churches, mosques, shipyards and the old town’s well preserved houses. They’re a reminder of all the people and cultures that have influenced local life, from ancient times through to the Byzantine era, the Venetian occupation and Turkish rule. I’ll also point out the entertainment and cultural offerings that make the modern town so vibrant.
During this tour, I’ll give you local insight, share fun facts, and introduce you to Chania's cultural identity through storytelling. We’ll explore some secret spots and find the old town’s hidden treasures too.
Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for this walk. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars en route for a quick (or lengthy!) stop.

The audio experience was terrible. We could connect only one device at a time which made it useless. We gave up on it. Wouldn’t recommend

We enjoyed the self paced tour. She gave us excellent information and the tracking device was perfect! I wish other locations had this available.

The tour took us to places we would never have discovered on our own, which was great. We did have difficulty starting the tour and halfway through it said we had come to the end and I found it difficult to restart, but this could have been down to experience with the technology and new Bluetooth earphones!! What we did get though was very interesting and informative and easy to understand and we were very happy.
