The programme

Wear comfortable shoes and prepare to be amazed with every step as you wander through the narrow streets of the multifaceted jewel that is Chania old town.
Accompanied by your guide, walk through the Byzantine walls that were restored under Venetian rule, and enter a world of little streets and alleyways, colors and scents. It is a place brimming with artisan workshops, which safeguard the island's traditions: some sell typical sweet treats, some local cheeses, some leather goods, and some ceramics...
As you wander, the stories told by your guide will immerse you in the culture of the Cretan people. Then, they will take you to one of the places that has been occupied by both Venice and the Ottoman Empire: the Venetian port.
It is a place that is home to a thousand stories, and the buildings that frame it only add to its charm: the lighthouse, the Firkas Fortress, the Giannizzeri mosque. A showcase of different architectural styles that mingle with one another, with lively cafés and taverns all along the docks. The “Venice of the East” awaits you!
