We recommend starting your day early as the distances are longer, especially since the prefecture of Chania is located on the western side of Crete.

Upon arrival in Chania, you’ll be captivated by the charm of the old town and its quaint harbor, where the architectural beauty of buildings from the second Venetian occupation has been meticulously preserved. For a delightful dessert and coffee experience, we suggest visiting Sketi glika (tel. +30 28213 02801).

For seafood enthusiasts, TAMPAKARIA fish tavern is a must-visit, while those craving meat can indulge in classic dishes at CHRYSOSTOMOS tavern (tel. +30 28210 57035).

A scenic mountain route from Chania city leads to the charming mountain village of Therissos, passing through Drakona. An unforgettable culinary experience awaits at Dounias Kitchen in Drakona (tel. +30 28210 65083), where owner and chef Mr. Stelios has revived traditional recipes from the Minoan era. All the meat and ingredients used are sourced from his own production, ensuring an authentic taste of Cretan cuisine.
