Chania is not just a city – it is a painting!
This tour is ideal if you want to mix up urban exploration and sightseeing with lounging by the sea. The Lefka Ori (mountain) provides a dramatic backdrop to the city’s stunning Venetian architecture and bustling market. There is much to explore and photograph in the old town with the Venetian harbour, iconic lighthouse (one of the oldest in Europe), and the cobbled alleyways, courtyards, cafés and tavernas. The Ottoman influences are captured in the Mosque by the port and the two minarets which will add spice to your pictures.
Cretan food is one of Greece’s most distinctive regional cuisines. Excellent local produce and healthy ingredients lift its fame to the first ranks among the healthiest diets in the world.

This property is 9 minutes walk from the beach. Near the Venetian harbour in the old city of Chania, Palazzo Duca features elegant studios and apartments with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi throughout. Taverns, café-bars and the central market are within a short stroll.
Fitted with Cocomat mattresses, the accommodation offers a kitchenette, fridge, LCD satellite TV and safe. Free toiletries are also included, while some have a spa bath or seating area. Most units open out to a balcony with views of the old city.
Nea Chora beach is just 900 yards from Palazzo Duca. Other popular beaches, such as Chrissi Akti and Agii Apostoli, are located less than 1.9 miles away. Chania International Airport is at a distance of 7.5 miles.
This is our guests’ favourite part of Chania Town, according to independent reviews.
There will be a fair amount of easy hiking and you will need to be able to get up hills, flights of stairs, and be OK with a certain level of heat. If you are carrying a camera bag full of equipment you will need to be OK with having this on your back for several hours at a time.
A camera is the obvious one, but also a tripod is a must. Having spare batteries and memory cards is also strongly advised.
No, you have to make your own way to the destination, but wherever possible we will meet you at the airport in Greece.
Yes. We always ensure you will be staying at the best accommodation possible in the area. This means it will be clean and well presented, although in the more remote locations may not be as fancy as in the cities.
All levels are welcome, from the novice to the seasoned professional.

The two photography trips I have taken with Chryssie, to Lemnos and Crete, were both wonderful. Chryssie guided us to beauty spots beyond the tourist trail and has an impressive network of local contacts (guides, tavernas, hostels) ensuring an all-round authentic experience. Professional photographer Matt Widgery is generous with his time and knowledge and has helped me improve my photography beyond my expectations. The photos I took on each trip are treasured mementos of fun-filled holidays.
