The Story Behind the Tours
About Us
Local Stories. Real Connections.
Unforgettable Experiences.
Hi, I’m Andonis, the founder and guide behind Chania Walking Tours.
I created these experiences with a simple idea in mind: to show visitors the Chania I know and love — through its food, its people, its hidden streets and the stories that bring the city to life.
No scripts and no rushed sightseeing. Just small groups, good conversation and an authentic way to experience Chania through the eyes of a local.

Meet Andonis
Your Local Host in Chania
I’m Andonis, born and raised in Chania, and this city has always been much more than the place I call home.
I’ve spent my life walking its streets, discovering its food, meeting its people and listening to the stories that have shaped the city. Over the years, I realized that many of the things I love most about Chania are also the things visitors can easily miss.
That’s what inspired me to create Chania Walking Tours.
I don’t want to simply take you from one stop to another or overwhelm you with dates and facts. I want to share the city naturally — through conversation, local flavors, stories, hidden corners and the little details that make Chania special.
By the end of the experience, I want you to feel that you didn’t just visit Chania — you got to know it.
A Different Way to Discover Chania
More Like Exploring Chania With a Local Friend
I believe the best way to discover a city is not by following a script, but through the people who live there.
That’s why my tours are intentionally small and relaxed. There’s time to talk, ask questions, stop when something catches our attention and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.
