Join Apostolis Panigirakis, a licensed tourist guide and professional historian accredited by the Greek Ministry of Tourism and Culture, on a flavorful walking tour through the charming alleys of Chania’s Old Town — where centuries of history and Cretan cuisine come together.
As you wander through atmospheric backstreets, bustling markets, and hidden courtyards, you’ll taste your way through Crete’s culinary heritage, from family-run bakeries and traditional cheese shops to local cafés and tavernas known only to locals.
Along the way, Apostolis will bring the city’s multicultural past to life — from the ancient Greeks and Byzantines to the Venetians, Ottomans, and Egyptians — showing you how each culture left its mark on both the architecture and the food of Chania.
This is more than just a food tour: it’s a sensory experience that blends storytelling, history, and taste, all guided by an expert who knows every layer of the city’s soul.
