“The tour was a fantastic way to explore Old Chania Village! We were able to see the entire village and learn about its history in a short amount of time. It was quite hot, so walking would have made it difficult to cover everything. A big thank you to our guide, who was amazing! She ensured our safety and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this tour!”

“This was a well run, lovely way to see Chania. We met at the beach and the kayaks were ready to go. We had a safety talk and were off. We kayaked through the harbor and out to the sea to an island for snorkeling. It was a lovely day and a great way to see the Venetian Harbor from the sea.”
