Day Trips in Chania

Get a taste for the idyllic scenery, customs, and culture of the Cretan countryside 11-hour sightseeing trip with a small group.

Lunch, a light dinner, snacks, coffee, and transport are included.

Take a full-day sightseeing cruise to Gramvousa Island from Rethymnon, Georgioupolis or Chania.  This convenient, budget-friendly outing includes hotel pickup and drop off for an all-day sun, sand and sea adventure. See the Venetian Castles, swim in the Balos Lagoon, sunbathe on sandy beaches, explore the caves at Kissamos Bay, and enjoy views of Agria Gramvousa and Vouxa Cape from the water.

The ancient city of Chania is a popular tour spot, but you don't need to tie yourself to a large and inflexible tour group in order to explore it. On this full day tour around Chania, join a small group and walk around some of the city's highlights tucked away in the narrow Venetian alleys. Afterward, break away from your group and explore the city at your own pace - grab lunch at a local restaurant, walk around the harbor or do some shopping at Old Chania Market.
