Ce qui vous attend

Western Crete offers a mix of rugged scenery and Venetian romance – and this day trip combines both. Katerina, one of our local guides, says, ‘As well as Chania's Venetian harbour, you'll visit Lake Kournas and the Venizelos graves.' Plus, there's also a visit to Agia Triada Monastery to look forward to.

The fun kicks off in style, dropping into the Venetian-era Agia Triada Monastery. Perched on a rock in the foothills of the Akrotiri peninsula, it's one of the most important monastic complexes of its time. Wander around the salmon-pink courtyards and gilded chapels, before heading to Prophet Ilias Hill to see the graves of a Cretan father and son duo who became prime ministers of Crete. The site boasts panoramic views of Chania and the coastline.

Our next port of call is Chania, which many say is Crete's most beautiful city. It's set around an atmospheric harbour – the Venetian shipyard is still standing – and threaded with cobbled lanes. After a guided tour, you can do a spot of souvenir hunting. Check out the famous ‘Leather Lane' and pick up some local crafts at the market, contributing directly to local businesses. Rounding off the day is some free time at the wildlife-rich Lake Kournas. Katerina loves it here. She says, ‘It's Crete's only freshwater lake, surrounded by the White Mountains. Simply beautiful.' You'll learn about local flora and fauna and the lake's ecosystem before the tour ends.
