What to do and see in Chania Town, Crete: The Best Boat Rentals

April 30, 2022 Carley Gatson

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.

Sail in... Chania

We depart from the bay of Souda, Chania for a full day of fun sailing, swimming, Cretan cuisine and culture.We sail for at least 30 n.miles with beautiful views of forts, small islands, the White mountains as a backdrop, past seaside villages and you can do all the sailing, if you want to, with myself as the navigator and chef. We anchor in secluded bays for snorkeling in crystal clear, turquoise waters, freshly cooked food and sail back to port with the sun setting in front of us. Twenty years from now you will be disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones that you did do. So throw away the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails! Explore. Dream. Discover! We promise a memory to last a lifetime.
