Goal of the Activity

The goal of our museum day is to learn the historical and cultural heritage of Chania. Through visits to the Archaeological Museum and the Venizelos House, we aim to gain insights into significant historical events, and understand the impact of influential figures. Additionally, by exploring the neighborhoods around these landmarks, we hope to experience the local and everyday life.

Description

This visit is a way to explore the treasures of Chania's history. Our day begins with a visit to the Archaeological Museum, home to an extraordinary collection of ancient artifacts, including statues, pottery, and relics that span centuries of Crete's history.
 

Next, we’ll step into the Venizelos House, one of Greece’s most influential statesmen. Here, we'll delve into the political and personal history of Eleftherios Venizelos, exploring his role in shaping modern Greece and the pivotal moments that marked his career.
 

After immersing ourselves in the rich histories within the museum walls, we'll take a leisurely stroll through the surrounding neighborhoods.
