Overview

This is a private tour with a 7-seater van for a maximum 6 guests.
Chania since the ancient times was a melting pot of civilisations and cultures, each invader and new town resident leaving its mark on history, architecture and culture. Our guides are fluent in English, locals, know this place intimately and love sharing the knowledge.
We will drive around the city and visit various sites for 2 hours, and for 1 hour more you could wander around the picturesque alleys of Chania old town. Will explain the culture and traditions and how they formed the modern day city of Chania. We are not allowed to walk or guide in the old town with travellers, because our licence is for a driving tour.
Then we will drive through a scenic gorge to an amazing restaurant and have lunch for 3 hours total. Everything is farm to table, cooked on fire and eating is an experience. Lunch is not included in tour price. We will drive through a road with panoramic view of Chania and Souda bay.

Firkas Fortress

  • 5m
The fortress of Firkas on the northwest side of the port of Chania was constructed between 1610 and 1645 to protect the Venetian harbour entrance from raiders. After the fall of the city of Chania in the hands of the Turks in 1645it was renamed “Firka”, which in Turkish means “barrack”. On the northern side of the Firka fortress were six consecutive domes, that sheltered the large cannons, so that they would face the entrance of the harbour and face any possible attacker. The Firka Fortress was used as a prison since then and up to the Greek civil war of the 20th century. During the Ottoman rule, the Firka Fortress constituted the seat of the military governor of the city. It is the place where the Greek flag was raised, in 1913, the year of the reunion of Crete with Greece. Today, at the entrance of the Fortress is situated the Maritime Museum.
