Spend a day in the vibrant heart of Chania, where history and modernity collide:
- Chania Old Town (1-hour drive): Wander the narrow, cobblestone streets of this Venetian-era town, filled with boutique shops, charming cafes, and historic landmarks. Don’t miss the old harbor, perfect for a romantic evening stroll.
- Archaeological Museum of Chania and Venizelos Tomb (1.5-hour drive to Akrotiri): Explore the new Archaeological Museum in Chania, then visit the tomb of Eleftherios Venizelos, Greece’s first modern leader, set on a hill with stunning views of the city.
- Waves on the Rock in Ravdoucha (on return, 45-minute drive from HERMITAGE): Stop for a seafood dinner at this cliffside restaurant, where the waves crash below and the sunset paints the sky in hues of gold and pink.
