A three floor gallery, which is free to the public. We really enjoyed our visit there: there were pictures painted by local artists with beautiful colours. Many different styles. Definitely worth a visit!
The oldest market in Chania from the beginning of the century. The last decades is more touristy but still you can find local products with the best Cretan- Mediterranean quality
Great Art and great setup/building. It is worth a visit on your evening or day stroll in the centre. Helpful staff!
It was a fun experience! The museum is small but very cute with lots of love designed. The movie is not the best animation but still it is cute and the effects are fun. It is worth a try all the way! :)
A nice little museum with reminders of how Greek life once was.
Present day: The needlework on display by mama can probably be adapted into some great COVID-19 face masks and would make for some cool souvenirs! A little Greek dancer or sunflower maybe!
A small cosy gallery with some lovely pieces. The owner is nice, warm and a real art lover. She explained about the art at the gallery and connected us to it. It is highly recommended!
Very photogenic location. Walk out to the lighthouse for great views of the old town and harbour. But beware the terrain is very difficult. Not suitable for wheelchairs. Lots of nice eateries around here.
In my recent visit to Chania I discovered Alexandra's gallery. I was intrigued by the bright store and the items on display, and taking a closer look they were indeed inspired works of art.
Lots of choices of beads and small pieces of jewellery for your bracelets, necklaces and other jewellery. Good quality and cheap.
Handmade mini art, a place to be in chania!!!
A shop filled with beautiful things. There is no pressure to buy anything. They provide a lot of background on the artist and production processes if you're interested. I purchased a sculpture and asked if I could pick it up on my way to the airport. This was no problem at all. It was well wrapped and it's now sitting proudly on my bookshelf. I was so tempted to buy more, but I'll leave that to the next time I visit!
A beautiful orthodox church located on the edge of the Old Port of Chania. Its location makes it easy, after your visit, to proceed to the other sights of the beautiful complex.
It’s worth giving her a visit!
It’s a smaller version of the Heraklion’s archeological museum but nevertheless it’s highly informative, educational and amusing.
Great cafe and restaurant. One of the best in town
Found a very special place for this wonderful handmade tree with white birds. Very nice and helpfully person!
A must-see in Chania. This fortress overlooks the harbor and the location is quite convenient...
Best museum in the city. Skip the bad archaeological museum and come here instead. Really interesting information, well curated, high quality artifacts. Very informative but small enough to not be overwhelming. One of the best museums I've been to in a while. Highly recommend.
With time everything changes except few beautiful monuments like this one. Beautiful
Amazing experience on Captain Nick’s boat trip! We went on the 3hour boat trip which included a free drink of choice and a lot of snorkelling. All equipment is provided. Captain nick is very friendly and gives a lot of information about the area. We visited two islands during the boat trip and then we got off at one of the beaches where we could sunbathe, eat etc! Nick brought us around the ocean for a snorkelling lesson and showed us amazing things! WW2 plane wreck, an old unexploded bomb and lots of wildlife! Would highly recommend for families, kids and couples!
Oh my God what a museum. Dimitris, the owner, took me on a twenty minute tour of this small perfect museum but it could have been an hour. If you love football history and not just Greek this is the place for you. Do you have to know all there is to know about world football? No because Dimitris will tell you. Some of the football tops are utterly brilliant. Originals from World Cup matches and European finals worn by THE PLAYERS! Including Maradona. You have to go. This is a beautiful heart filled adventure.
