Greek mythology is deeply connected to the stars. The planets and constellations are inspirations to many a famous legend, with astronomy being a big part of ancient Greek culture.
On our Stargazing in Chania tour, you can enjoy an unforgettable evening learning about the Greek Gods & Mythological Constellations — all in a very special stargazing spot in Chania.
Accompanied by a local astronomer, you and the kids will be taken on an adventure into the night sky. Your guide is an expert storyteller, who knows all there is to know about Greek mythology. By observing the stars, you’ll learn how to identify some of the most important constellations, then find out about their place in mythology.
To complete the evening, you’ll make your way to the courtyard of a winery to enjoy a traditional Minoan meal under the stars. A cosmic evening for all, this tour is a great way to introduce a bit of wonder and mystery into your time in Chania.
