Rm11 Posted September 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hi, My cruise stops in Chania on Sunday, in mid October. It's a full day, from 8am till 10pm. I'd originally planned to just wander around the town itself but on a Sunday is there enough to occupy the day (are most things closed)? Should I consider any excursions? Are taxis etc readily available or should I prebook in this case? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted September 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I suspect Chania caters to tourists and most places will be open on Sundays. I just checked, for example, the hours of the local (and good) archaeological museum in Chania -- it is open from 8am to 8pm on Sundays. Chania is a bit one-note for me, not sure I could spend more than a half day there. Nearby there are extensive ruins of a Minoan city called Aptera that is worth a visit (16 km out of town), would be easy to do by taxi. If you're not into ancient civilizations, the larger and more interesting city of Rethymno (or Rethymnon) is about an hour's drive from Chania -- you could easily spend a day there but the taxi ride might not be cheap. Perhaps your ship offers transportation...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted October 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 3, 2018 There maybe shore excursions that appeal. I’m in Chania right now on a land trip. Yesterday we drove to an olive oil farm and winery. The winery is open Sundays. Not sure about the olive oil farm. https://www.manousakiswinery.com/visit This is the winery. We love Chania.

marysb Posted October 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We'll be in Chania on Easter Sunday .... hope they are still catering to tourists on that Sunday too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
