Overview

This excursion takes you to the west side of the island. It includes a visit to the towns of Chania and Rethymnon. Going west on the northern axis of Crete, first we will pass the Ida range that includes the highest mountain of Crete, Psiloritis (2453m high), then our tour will take us to the beautiful town of Rethymno.

Rethymnon is a graphic Cretan town, so characteristic and unique, that nothing similar is met anywhere else on the island of Crete. We will have time to relax at the beautiful scenery at the old port of Rethymnon.

Chania is the capital city of the prefecture of Chania, which comes second in size on the island and is the sixth biggest city in Greece having approximately 65.000 residents. Its Venetian walls and harbor, narrow streets, and old buildings from the Venetian and Turkish period are mostly intact and take you directly to the past. The old harbor, where the small fishing boats can moor, is a perfect place to enjoy a coffee, have your lunch and observe the liveliness of the city. Here you can see the cross – shaped closed Marketplace and the leather – Market Street.

In Chania, we will have the opportunity to enjoy an 1 hour boat trip to the island Lazzareta.
We will depart from Chania Old Harbour to Lazaretta Island, approx 700 metres away from Chania Harbour. A small tour around the island with a tour guide to tell all the history of Chania and its surroundings. There will also be a 30 minute swimming/snorkelling stop for anyone who wishes to swim – with use of our free snorkelling equipment.

On the way back, we’ll visit inside the Old Venetian Harbour with the opportunity to take close up pictures of the lighthouse. A free drink and fruit salad is offered for free for all passengers.
