A nice way to walk through the old town of Chana. The directions were good and the story was lovely. The facts about some of the places were also interesting. I totally recommend, with this being one of the best quests on Questo that I have tried.

The city’s vibrant markets are a testament to its gastronomic culture. Chania is famous for its olive oil, honey, and local cheeses.
