You arrive by a cool, air-conditioned vehicle and the harbor light of Chania slips into view: honey-colored stone, the lighthouse silhouette, and gulls quartering the bay. The private tour unfolds deliberately — a short drive to the Akrotiri peninsula, a quiet monastery courtyard, then a pine-scented ridge that opens onto the town below.
