Walk Along the Venetian Walls to the Lighthouse



One of the best ways to experience Chania’s historical charm is to take a leisurely walk along the ancient Venetian walls. Start at the harbor and walk all the way to the Chania Lighthouse, which offers stunning views of the town and the sea. This walk is both scenic and steeped in history, providing a glimpse of Chania’s Venetian past and its strategic importance as a port. The lighthouse, one of the oldest in the Mediterranean, is an iconic symbol of the city and a must-see for anyone visiting Chania.



Visit the Firka Fortress



Just a short distance from the harbor, you’ll find the Firka Fortress, a well-preserved military structure that once protected the city from invaders. Today, it houses the Maritime Museum of Crete, offering visitors insight into the region’s rich naval history and providing beautiful views from the walls—perfect for capturing stunning photos.

Wander the Old Town’s Narrow Streets



No trip to Chania would be complete without exploring the maze of narrow streets that wind through the Old Town. These charming lanes are lined with brightly colored buildings, many of which have been restored and repurposed into boutique hotels, cozy tavernas, shops, and bars. As you wander, you’ll discover handmade ceramics, leather goods, and Greek-style clothes, making it a perfect place to search for souvenirs.



Visit Agios Nikolaos Church



Chania’s rich history is reflected in its architecture, and one notable example is the Agios Nikolaos Church. Originally a Catholic church, it was converted into a mosque during Ottoman rule, and it now serves as an Orthodox church. The blend of architectural styles is a reminder of Crete’s diverse cultural influences over the centuries, making it a fascinating stop during your exploration of the Old Town.



Relax at Nea Chora Beach



For a relaxing break from sightseeing, head to Nea Chora Beach, just a 20-minute walk from the Venetian harbor. This long stretch of golden sand and crystal-clear waters is perfect for a beach day. There are plenty of beach bars and restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood and local Cretan dishes, and sun loungers and umbrellas are available for hire. Nea Chora is ideal for those seeking a laid-back atmosphere, where you can unwind and enjoy the beautiful coastal views.

From Chania’s harbor, you can hire a boat—either public or private—to explore the nearby islands of Lazareta and Theodorou. These small, uninhabited islands offer pristine waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling, as the underwater world is teeming with vibrant marine life.



Luxury Cruise to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island



For a more exclusive experience, consider <a href="https://amaselections.com/services/boat-charter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hiring a private motorboat</a> and cruising along the northwest coast of Crete to the stunning Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island. Balos Lagoon is famous for its wild natural beauty and rugged landscape, with turquoise waters that resemble the Caribbean. Don’t forget to bring reef shoes, as the lagoon’s rocky floor can be tricky to walk on. Afterward, explore the pirate island of Gramvousa, where a short hike will lead you to the ruins of a Venetian castle perched at the island&#8217;s highest point.



Wine Tasting



Wine lovers should not miss the opportunity to <a href="https://www.manousakiswinery.com/visit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">visit the Manousakis Winery</a>, located just a half-hour drive from Chania. Set amidst the beautiful Cretan countryside, this family-run winery offers tastings of its organic wines, accompanied by local rusks and the estate’s olive oil.

This is one of the most impressive and novel activities to do in Chamonix. Take the Aiguille du Midi cable car from the center of Chamonix and ascend to the dizzying height of 3,842m. There, a glass room awaits, suspended over a 1000m precipice, offering unparalleled views of the French Alps like you&#8217;ve never seen before. This activity isn&#8217;t for the faint-hearted, but if you think you can do it, you should. It’s incredible.



Take Montenvers Train



Next, step back in time on the <a href="https://en.chamonix.com/activities/practical-information-about-the-lifts/mer-de-glace-et-train-du-montenvers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Montenvers railway</a> line, a historic train that winds through the surrounding alpine forests to reveal the stunning Mer de Glace glacier and ice caves. The sheer scale of this icy marvel is truly spectacular, so don’t miss the opportunity to visit the ice cave, accessible either by footpath or gondola.
