Santorini cancelled - what to do in Chania Crete

[Globaler]

The June 8th Sun Princess cruise cancelled Santorini and now headed to Chania. There is a beach excursion. Should we sign up, walk around town or something else?

Should you actually want a beach excursion then sign up for it.

 

Chania is quite small but has a small number of sights including a couple of museums  and a lovely harbour area perfect for people watching from one of the cafes, bars or restaurants. It is also perfect for strolling the little streets as it  is mostly on level ground.

 

On our second visit we ventured a little further to Rethymnon using the local bus and enjoyed visiting there too, especially the older area around the Venetian harbour, with a  brief stroll through Chania on return... Again, tourist info and images can be found online.

 

Looking at "tourist information Chania" results should give you an idea of possible options in Chania itself, also the usual Ttripadvisor Chania and other sumilar websites. And Tripadvisor will also have images to help you decide.

And for Rethymnon (only 2 so far, 3 including this one)
