★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 92 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $117

Chania Food Stories half-day tour with market tastings, old town history, harbor mezedes, raki, wine, and local tips in a small group.

“The meeting point was just a few minutes walk from Princess complementary shuttle drop off stop. I thought it will be a small group of 6, it turned out there were 9 of us on the tour, mostly from the cruise, but that was fine as the tour guide Andonis was wonderful. He was personable, full of energy and super enthusiastic on introducing us to Chania. Our family all enjoyed it.”
