What are people saying about Chania
Life is good in Chania, one of the major cities on the island of Crete. Alongside some of the oldest signs of civilization in the Mediterranean lie vineyards, pink sand beaches, and charming villages that show Greek culture at its best. Chania tours take the hassle out of organizing your trip to the island—go to Elafonissi Beach, the White Mountains, or the ancient Palace of Knossos with easy transfers from your hotel. Or stick around in the city and explore some under-the-radar corners of the local food scene.

There are plenty of high-quality tours and experiences in Chania. According to previous travelers, here are the best tours to book right now:
Yes, guided tours in Chania are well worth it. Many of Crete's most impressive outdoor attractions are only accessible by boat or 4WD vehicle, from gorges and cliff-backed beaches to pristine snorkeling spots—guided tours help you see them safely and smoothly. Whether you go village-hopping or taste Cretan wine and olive oil on a food tour, you'll learn much more about the island from a local guide than you could on your own.
Per one customer who booked the Balos & Falassarna Beach—Jeep Tour with Loungers and Lunch, "Absolutely wonderful experience from pickup to drop off! Yiannis was an incredible guide for the day and had so much information to share about Crete and Greece from history to culture to food or even favorite restaurants or places to travel. The beach was also incredible with clear blue water and reserved loungers, along with a very nice lunch right at the beachside restaurant. Definitely recommend this!!"
Prices for Chania tours vary based on group size and inclusions. Many shared day trips cost less than US$30, though the price doesn't always include entrance fees for beaches and museums. Top-rated group Jeep tours, boat trips, and sightseeing excursions typically start at US$100, while private tours cost at least US$160.
A popular tour at the lower end of the price range is the Elafonissi Beach Trip from Chania for US$31 per person. The full-day tour includes transportation from Chania to Crete's famous pink-sand beach, though you'll be on a bus with up to 40 other people and will need to buy lunch. Meanwhile, the Chania: Elafonisi & Falasarna Private Tour w/ Olive Oil Tasting starts at US$580 per group of up to six people and is fully private. The fee includes round-trip transportation from your hotel to two different beaches, plus beach umbrellas, a packed lunch, and an oil tasting at an olive grove.
Chania tours include all kinds of activities. If your goal is to swim and sunbathe, book a snorkeling boat tour or a day trip to the pink-sand Elafonisi Beach. Other outdoor adventures include hiking and 4WD tours of Crete's lakes and gorges, or you can taste your way through Cretan villages, vineyards, and olive mills on food and drink tours. History lovers can explore Chania Old Town or the ancient Palace of Knossos.
Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the full-day Cretan Safari—4x4 Adventure to Preveli Beach With Lunch lets you swim at Preveli Beach, off-road past natural wonders such as Kourtaliotiko Gorge and Potamon Dam, wander through the villages of Spili and Karines, and eat a traditional lunch at a Cretan taverna.
Plan to spend at least 3–4 days in Chania so you can see the Old Town’s highlights and take a few day trips. Start with a walking tour of the Old Venetian Harbor and the Archaeological Museum of Chania, then book excursions around western Crete. Hike at Samaria Gorge, lounge at Balos Beach and Lagoon, and taste wine or whip up traditional Cretan specialties during a culinary tour or cooking class.
