Follow Chania’s waterfront through the Old Venetian Port, the Venetian city wall, and the historic naval structures beside the harbor. See the Νεώρια (Venetika Naυpigeia), the Venetian shipyards, and continue to the Chania Venetian Harbor Guardhouse. This easy walk keeps the focus on how the harbor was defended and used for maritime work. Together, the four stops connect the port, its wall, its arsenals, and its guardhouse in one focused route.

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

This page is the map and the itinerary. The app is the guide who walks it with you.

  1. Pick a walk

    Every stop is a real place, already in walking order.

  2. Pocket your phone

    Follow the line on the live map, or download the walk before you lose signal.

  3. Listen as you arrive

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.

  • In four languages

    Stop for lunch, come back tomorrow, and the walk is exactly where you left it.
