1. Chania, Crete
Stop
About the destination: Chania, on the northwest coast of Crete, combines Venetian elegance, Ottoman traces, and traditional Cretan life in a compact, walkable city. Its heart is the Old Town, a maze of narrow alleyways lined with pastel-colored mansions, flowering balconies, and small artisan shops. The picturesque Venetian Harbor, with its 16th‑century lighthouse and old arsenals, is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll at sunset, followed by dinner at a waterfront taverna. Beyond the harbor, Chania’s neighborhoods each offer a distinct atmosphere. The former Jewish quarter, Evraiki, is full of boutique hotels and quiet cafés, while Splantzia showcases a more local side with shaded squares, traditional kafeneia, and historic churches beside old mosques. Museums such as the Maritime Museum of Crete and the Archaeological Museum provide context for the island’s long and turbulent history, from Minoan times to World War II. Chania is also an excellent base for exploring some of Crete’s most striking landscapes. Day trips can take you to the pink‑tinged sands of Elafonisi, the dramatic gorge of Samaria, or the turquoise waters of Balos Lagoon. Closer to town, you’ll find a series of accessible beaches like Agii Apostoli and Marathi, where calm, shallow waters are ideal for families. Food is another highlight of any visit to Chania. Local tavernas showcase Cretan cuisine at its best: extra‑virgin olive oil, fresh seafood, wild greens, and cheeses like graviera and mizithra. Don’t miss dakos (Cretan barley rusk salad), slow‑cooked lamb, or a glass of raki shared with friendly locals. Whether you’re wandering the backstreets, relaxing by the sea, or setting off into the mountains, Chania offers a rich blend of culture, nature, and authentic island charm.

2. Rethymno, Crete
Stay
About the destination: Rethymno is a city of approximately 40,000 people in Greece, the capital of Rethymno regional unit on the island of Crete, a former Latin Catholic bishopric as Retimo(–Ario) and former Latin titular see. Rethymno was originally built during the Minoan civilization (ancient Rhithymna and Arsinoe). The city was prominent enough to mint its own coins and maintain urban growth. One of these coins is today depicted as the crest of the town: two dolphins in a circle. This region as a whole is rich with ancient history, most notably through the Minoan civilisation centred at Knossos east of Rethymno.Rethymno itself began a period of growth when the Venetian conquerors of the island decided to put an intermediate commercial station between Heraklion and Chania, acquiring its own bishop and nobility in the process. Today's old town (palia poli) was almost entirely built by the Republic of Venice. It is one of the best-preserved old towns in Crete. From circa 1250 the city was the seat of the Latin Diocese of Retimo, which was renamed Retimo–Ario after the absorption in 1551 of the Diocese of Ario and as suppressed only after the Turkish conquest.
