Activity itinerary

Archaeological Site of Ancient Aptera
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Learn about the ancient city of Aptera. Our first stop after an interesting drive up will be the ‘’Ancient site of Ap-tera’’ and ‘’fortress of Koules’’. Explore the Roman cisterns, the monastery, the picturesque church, and the absolutely beautiful ancient theatre that still remains. At the archaeological site of Aptera, you will be able to admire findings of all periods of inhabitation of this City-State. The walls of the ancient city, which is 3.480 metres long, dating back to its acne period, of the 4th century BC. Afterwards, we have time to take magnificent photos of the view to Souda Bay from the Fortress of Koules. The view from there is absolutely breathtaking! Time spending there is about 1h30m.
Old Venetian Harbor

Minoan areas, Ottoman bathhouses, Hellenistic walls, Latin inscriptions, a church with the symbols of two religions, boot-makers shops, imposing Venetian bastions, knife-makers shops, underground cisterns, a Venetian harbour and an African village are just a part of the multicultural mosaic of the town’s past and of its architectural treasures.
Chania Old Town

Immerse yourself in an engaging historical tour at Chania Old Town, where five millennia of history and prehistory will unravel before your eyes. We will visit streets, buildings, high spots, areas, and monuments that only we, locals, know.

We will admire the incredible flower-decorated neighbourhoods, learn about Cretan history, Cretan mythology, and traditions, meet the locals, and eat like locals.
