Beautiful little traditional villages can be discovered throughout the area. To do something like this, a car rental is advised.

 

Please find below the selection we made for you:


  • Old Venetian Harbour & Chania Lighthouse — historic harbour + lighthouse at port entrance 
  • Maritime Museum of Crete — museum of maritime history, ship‑models, sea artifacts 
  • Museum of Typography — museum of printing & publication history, old presses, printing artefacts 
  • Gonia Monastery — historic orthodox monastery, about 26 km from Chania, nice for a cultural/historic visit
