Az egyik legszebb kis város Krétán. Hangulatos óváros, pazar tengerpart, szép kilátás az erődből, kellemes éttermek. Ha nem is itt szállsz meg, akkor is érdemes pár órát eltölteni itt.

I'antico centro di Chania è senz'altro da visitare con calma per poterne apprezzare sia gli aspetti storici che le numerose attrattive date dai numerosi negozietti di elevato gusto pur essendo, alcuni, tipicamente turistici. Il Mercato Centrale, storico mercato coperto, l'Agora della città, mi è stato spiegato che agli albori ne caratterizzava la vita commerciale principale della cittadina. Purtroppo non ho ancora potuto visitarlo al suo interno.Regina_A

We had a lovely day with Katerina! This was the 5th tour on our cruise so we were all a little tired. Katerina customized the tour to our needs and went easy on the walking. We also ended a bit early which she didn’t mind doing for us. The mini van was very comfortable and the driver was always right there to pick us up. The stops were interesting and Katerina was full of knowledge about them. She’s also a talented singer! We enjoyed the shops and stopped at a few places—something you can only do on a private tour. I really liked how all of the time was ours. I would highly recommend this tour!
