jeanandmark Posted November 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2018 We are docking at Chania Crete 12pm-10pm in the end of May, and are looking for things to do. Planning on walking around the old town and then... Would love to go see an olive farm/factory with tastings and such. Where should we go, how do we get there, tour suggestions? We are good with DIY, just need some direction. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybear Posted November 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Reverse the order and first Take the local bus to Maleme and see the German war cemetery, or to Souda and see the allied cemetery and the beach from Zorba the Greek. Wander the town later and enjoy dinner on the waterfront. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Junky Posted December 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We were in Chania for 3 nights in October. As we had a car, we did our own Olive Oil Tour here: http://www.biolea.gr/book-a-tour/ and loved it. You'd either need a driver or a car, it's in the country. What's the ship offering as far as olive oil tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try and e:mail Biolea to see if they know of any drivers. The views from there were stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisefanX2 Posted January 26, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2019 We will be in Chania in June on the Greek Mystique cruise on the Celebration. Looking online, it appears that the cruise ships dock in Souda, which is about 6km from Chania. There are local buses specifically for cruise passengers at 3 Euros return with a journey time of about 15 min. Not sure how current this information is. Can anyone confirm this?
