Experience a leisurely walking tour in the Old Town of Chania, guided by a licensed professional. The charming alleys of the Old Town are adorned with stunning Venetian mansions, fountains, and intricate churches.

During this walking tour, you will have the opportunity to discover and explore Plateia Venizelou, a spacious clearing located at the far curve of the old harbor. This clearing is now known for its elegant marble fountain. Additionally, you will visit the remarkable domed Mosque of Djamissis (also known as the Mosque of Hassan Pasha), which was constructed shortly after the Turks conquered Chania in 1645. The tour also includes a visit to the grand arsenal, a historical location where the Venetians built and repaired ships. Occasionally, exhibitions are held within the arsenal. As you walk along the breakwater, you will encounter the 19th-century lighthouse, Plateia 1821 (Splatzia), and the Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas. Another notable stop on the tour is the synagogue, which was built in the 17th century, destroyed during World War II, and has since been exquisitely restored. This site is definitely worth a visit.
