Über die Tour
Join us on a journey to the beautiful west side of Crete, where history and nature come together.
Our first stop is Chania, one of the most charming cities on the island. Chania has two parts: the Old Town, with its stunning Venetian harbor, and the New Town, built outside the old city walls. The Old Town, often called the Venice of the East, is full of history. Walking through its streets, you will see a mix of cultures, old mansions, Venetian buildings, and the famous lighthouse.
Next, we visit Lake Kournas, the only natural freshwater lake in Crete. Surrounded by green hills, this peaceful place is ideal for swimming, walking, relaxing, or enjoying the beautiful view before lunch.
On our way back, we stop at Rethymno, Crete’s third-largest town. Walk through the narrow streets of the old town, enjoy the harbor, or simply relax with a coffee before returning.
