Tailor-Made Private Shore Excursion: Discover Chania Your Way
Overview
Book your private air-conditioned van, share your interests, and we’ll create a bespoke tour—a perfect mix of sights, tastes, and experiences.
Your local driver-guide will be with you throughout the day, sharing insider knowledge about Crete’s hidden gems. Explore charming villages, ancient ruins, and the beautiful countryside. Visit family-owned olive oil mills, wineries, and cheese factories, or unwind on stunning beaches. If you wish, we can include a stop at the Old Venetian Harbor, a stroll through the city center, or time for shopping.
Crete is a large island, so we’ll carefully plan your itinerary to fit the time available, considering driving between stops to make the most of your day.
Our fully adapted wheelchair-accessible vehicle ensures a comfortable experience for everyone. We believe that travel is for all, and we’ll make sure you can enjoy the beauty of Crete without limits.
