Hi! I’m visiting Chania for two weeks on holiday and i’m looking for must do activities/ places. Totally open to renting a car as well!

Are there other hiking options in Crete with confirmed trails that are accessible? We've tried three with only one being passable. Chania-based and have a car.

Thank you!

I loved Rethymno when I visited, so I made a free way to explore it: a self-guided puzzle walk through the Venetian old town.

It starts at the Guora Gate, passes the Neratze Mosque, Rimondi Fountain and the Loggia, follows the Venetian harbour out to the lighthouse and ends at the Fortezza gate. Eight stops, a brain teaser at each, and every answer unlocks a true story about the town.

About 1.5 km and 1 hr 45 with coffee stops.

Would appreciate any feedback, especially from locals if I've got any history wrong.

Speed controls. Are the radars all broken from Chania east om 90 or did my car become invisible?
