Description

Step into the enchanting streets of Chania and discover the city through the stories that have shaped Greece for thousands of years.

This relaxed morning walking experience blends mythology, local culture, and authentic Cretan flavors. As we wander through the picturesque Old Town, the Venetian Harbor, and hidden alleyways, you'll hear fascinating tales of Zeus, Europa, Ariadne, Daedalus and Icarus, Poseidon, and the legendary Minotaur. Along the way, we'll explore how these timeless myths continue to influence Greek culture and the identity of Crete today.

We'll pause at carefully selected local cafés and bakeries to enjoy traditional specialties, including fresh bougatsa, Cretan pastries, and expertly prepared coffee.

More than a sightseeing tour, this is an opportunity to slow down, connect with the spirit of Chania, and experience the city through its stories, flavours, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether it's your first visit to Crete or you've been here before, you'll leave with a deeper appreciation of its history, mythology, and culinary traditions.

Chania - Coffee and Pastry

Wir hatten eine kulturell und historisch sehr interessante Tour mit Yahya und wurden unterwegs mit griechischen Köstlichkeiten verwöhnt. Yahya hat uns einen besonderen Vormittag geboten. Herzlichen Dank! ????

Eva was brilliant!

Heavy rain before the tour led us to wonder whether to go ahead with the tour but we’re so glad we did. Eva was brilliant, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable - nothing was too much trouble, no question too daunting. The addition of the pastries and coffee was very welcome. We would thoroughly recommend this tour (and any others that Eva’s doing!)

Great balance of coffee, pastries, and myths!

Had a great time on this tour! We had three stops with pastries and coffee and learned a ton through it all - loved how the mythology was tied into facts about the city itself. Our tour guide was Arina and she was super welcoming and knowledgeable

Lovely tour with coffee and food - what more could you want

This was a lovely way to explore Chania and learn about the local food, coffee and history. Eva was knowledgeable and patient with our chatty group. The locations she selected to sample the local treats were wonderful and the coffee was top notch. I recommend this tour if you are visiting Chania.
