Top Things to do in Chania Town
Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Chania Town, Crete
Much of the old town district of Chania was developed around its harbor, which was built by the Venetians during the 14th century. Its lighthouse still proudly overlooks the Mediterranean. Here you’ll find several cinemas and historical attractions like the Archaeological Museum, a collection of Minoan and Roman artifacts that’s housed in the former Monastery of Saint Francis. Word nerds will especially enjoy the Museum of Typography.

So glad we made the time to visit, this little museum is excellent, and can easily be visited even if you’re short of time. I’ve never been to a museum quite like this, it really is quite unique. We were limited on time, so were shown the shirts and memorabilia related to my team first - so I got to try on the shirts and get the pictures - then were shown the vast collection of international shirts worn by the greatest players of all time, and finally the lifting the Euro 2004 trophy given to Greece when they won the tournament. The personal touch here is what really makes it special though; being meeted and greeted as a friend, by someone with a genuine love of the game, and who delights in sharing this amazing collection that you can physically touch and feel, instead of the admiring-at-distance you expect of museums. A true home of world football.

6. ClueWars - Escape Rooms and VR Chania
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 194 reviews
The ClueWars concept was born with the incentive to make a notable difference from most of the Escape Room businesses that span across the country. We are against the notion of mindless and scenario-detached room challenges that most of today's Escape Rooms present to the player as we believe that locking a team in a room only to have them navigate through dozens of riddles and puzzles that have no actual connection to a persuasive story, or an actual end goal other than unlocking a door before the countdown ends, misses a good chance to offer a more complete experience to the player, one that gives real weight to the underlying story and immerses the player into a movie-like experience. Playing at ClueWars requires the teams to immerse themselves in the story in order to get past the organic and story-connected challenges that they face in a linear and progressive manner. In ClueWars you can also try Virtual Reality games for teams up to 4 people!

The Residence – Museum “Eleftherios K. Venizelos” is classified as an authentic (documentary) home since it is recounting the life of a personage and it is preserving authentic items, most of them in their original position. At the same time the life and era of the Greek politician it is presented giving to the monument the character of a modern museum.

This is a well presented museum in the outskirts of Chania (bus to Stavros). It tells the life of one of Crete’s and Greece’s greatest statesmen at the beginning of the 20th century through the house which was the family home. Each room is very well interpreted with information boards in both Greek and English. The attendant on reception was excellent and loaned us a tablet computer with maps and information for each room. Don’t forget to visit the garage where you can see the car which was damaged as part of an assassination attempt in 1923. Entrance 4 euros (2 for seniors). Expect to spend an hour here.

9. Peacock Tail Bar
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 171 reviews
Peacock tail bar is a cocktail bar with unique , signature cocktails but you can find any old time classic cocktail you like. Peacock is near to the old harbour so you can find easy. The atmosphere on peacock is friendly. So feel comfortable and join us. ( Attention Peacock tail bar has SQUARE TABLES with a COCKTAIL LIST on it. There is a bar next to PEACOCK which has ROUND - MULTICOLORED TABLES which is NOT the PEACOCK. So we are not responsible about the service and the quality.) We are open on 19:00 and close on 04:00 but I can't find the way to fix it on timeline.
