What are people saying about Chania

Authentic Cretan Cooking Class & Farm Experience in Chania, Crete

Nick_G, Oct 2026

Delightful rustic evening

The hosts Sophia and Maneleo were kind, accommodating and fun. We had a transport mixup - arrived an hour late in the rain., but they carried on. We set right to cooking - chopping, dicing, mixing and into clay pots for the fire. we milked goats and experienced real sustainability. They grow everything they eat including making their own wine and Raki. It is raining so we forego the tour of the olive groves in favor of a visit with their YiaYia who lives just up the road. The food is freah amd tasty, the mandolin playing a nice touch and the conversation delightful. Would recommend. Its a rustic evening in the mountains .

Balos & Gramvousa: Cruise with Meals, Drinks & Transfer

Eileen_B, Oct 2026

Book it!!!

The best crew we’ve ever had! Book it! Everyone was kind and very knowledgeable. It was a wonderful experience from start to end. We felt super safe and the communication was amazing. They reached out ahead of time and kept us informed of weather leading up to it. I will return to Balos but only if it’s with this crew!!

Gastronomy tour and wine tasting in traditional villages

Louise_B, Oct 2026

I can’t think of a more...

I can’t think of a more enjoyable way to start our Greek adventure. Yannis was a wonderful host and made us feel incredibly welcome. The people we met and the places we visited made us feel so at home. Such a great way to experience the culture of Chania.

Walking “Food tasting tour” in the town of Chania

Johnson_T, Oct 2026

Come hungry and ready to learn a lot about Chania

Christos gave us so much more than just a food tour. It was an amazing and insightful experience that combined the delicious flavors of Chania with the city’s fascinating history and culture. Of course, the food was incredible, but what made the tour especially memorable was how much we learned about Chania along the way. Christos shared so many interesting stories and facts about the city, giving us a much deeper appreciation for its history, culture, and traditions. Christos was also incredibly welcoming and eager to answer any questions we had. You could genuinely tell how much he enjoys sharing his knowledge and love for Chania with others, and his enthusiasm made the experience that much more enjoyable. My advice: come prepared with an empty stomach because there is plenty of delicious food to enjoy, and an open mind ready to soak up all the fascinating stories, history, and local knowledge along the way. If you're visiting Chania, I highly recommend this experience. You’ll leave not only very full, but also with a much greater appreciation and understanding of the city and Cretan culture. It truly is more than a food tour!

Elafonisi & Milia Mountain - Jeep Tour with Loungers and Lunch

Jody_F, Oct 2026

A special 70th birthday ce

Our tour with Dimitrios exceeded all expectations. First, from the very beginning Chania adventures communicated with us on pickup and activities of the day. Dimitrios was a wealth of knowledge. It was never a dull moment on the long ride. We learned so much of the history/culture of Crete. Our beach experience was wonderful. And that lunch......more than delicious. Getting to these destinations would have been so difficult to do on our own. And we would not have gain such a good understanding of Crete. Don't hesitate to do to this excursion....we highly recommend!

Private Van Tour to Elafonissi with SUP Board from Chania

Yuliia_P, Sept 2026

Wonderful guide and...

Wonderful guide and driver, Giorgos! I booked the tour literally the same morning at around 9 a.m., and by 12 p.m. he was already there to pick us up! He even messaged me beforehand and offered an earlier start time, which worked out perfectly and gave us more time to enjoy the day. In addition to the tour itself, he took us to the natural pool near Elafonissi Beach and then to Agia Sofia Cave, which was such a nice extra. There were two paddle boards included in the price, which was awesome for swimming and exploring the beach, plus snorkeling gear, snacks, iced water, soft drinks, and even a beach game. He also brought grapes from his own garden, which was such a lovely personal touch! Giorgos was very kind and made some great pictures of me and my family. He also gave us lots of helpful recommendations for dinner and other activities in Crete. Honestly, I’m confident this is one of the best tours you can take to Elafonissi. Everything was so well organized, and Giorgos really went above and beyond to make the day special. Highly recommend!

Quad/Buggy Safari from Platanias of Chania

Christine_G, Sept 2026

Such a fun way to experience Crete!

We did the quad tour during our honeymoon in Crete and had an absolute blast! It was such a fun change of pace and gave us a completely different way to experience the island. The tour was incredibly well organized, and we felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire experience. The scenery was beautiful, the riding was so much fun, and we loved getting away from the typical tourist experience and seeing another side of Crete. We packed a LOT into our honeymoon throughout Greece, and this was definitely one of those experiences that stood out. If you’re looking for something adventurous, memorable, and a little different while visiting Crete, absolutely add a quad tour to your trip. Thank you for such a fun day and another amazing memory from our honeymoon! ❤️🇬🇷

Boat Trip in Crete with Guided Snorkeling and Free Pick up!

Christian_V, Sept 2026

Wonderful Snorkeling Experience

My wife and I booked this snorkeling experience and had an excellent time! Basil, Andrea and team were very knowledgeable and personable. We had so much fun using the DPV scooters and were able to see so much. On our tour, Andrea was very informed about the local marine life and history and was able to teach us so much about the Souda bay and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea. Both my wife and I were coincidentally stung by jellyfish and Basil/Andrea were able to quickly help take care of us, which we appreciated. We could not recommend this experience more!

Crete Wine and Olive Oil Tour

Celene_F, Sept 2026

Yay for olive oil & wine!

Our driver Andy was so sweet and hospitable! During our drives to each location, he educated us on the history of Crete in regards to olive trees and vineyards. The staff in each location were so nice and you can just tell they love what they do. Made me appreciate the goods more knowing how much work goes into it. Definitely recommend!

Private Tour Elafonisi Beach with Honey Olive Oil & Wine Tastings

Valerie_M, Jul 2026

Cave, beach and food were all amazing!

This tour is full of beautiful sights along the way. The honey & olive oil tasting was delicious while learning how it was made. The stop at the cave was the highlight for me. Note: it is over 200 steps to reach the cave, with very uneven steps. So, if you or someone in your group has difficulty walking, they have the choice to wait in the air conditioned van. The view from the cave is breathtaking. Inside, you will take a path that shows many views. After the cave, we went to a beach which is also a long walk, but beautiful, clear water. The water depth is mostly 2-3 feet but does have areas where it reaches approx. 4 -5 ft. It’s great for children because the water has movement but not strong waves. You can relax and float in the water or lay in the sandy beach. The last stop was the winery, with a variety of tastings, which also included grape syrup and olive oil to dip breads and salted olives. Everything was delicious! You can purchase anything you like to take home! We really enjoyed the entire day! Also, our ship time at the port was not as long as the tour, but our guide was able to shorten our stops yet still fit everything in and get us back on time which we really appreciated!!
