“I was unable to upload the experience. The Viator website did not appear to be compatible with my iPhone or my T-Mobile service. Not sure which, but first time I’ve ever had this problem on numerous international trips.”

3.True Love in Chania: Self-Guided Romantic Puzzle Walk

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $7

Use the Questo app to follow a playful love story through Chania, from Splantzia to the Venetian harbor. You’ll solve puzzles while visiting churches, shipyards, the lighthouse, Yali Mosque, a synagogue, Firka Fortress, and more. Bring a charged phone and power bank.

“Great way to explore Chania’s old town. The adventure story you revive is a little corny but you can get a great laugh out of it. The hunt takes you all around old town and gives you great insight to the town that you wouldn’t get exploring by yourself. If you’re going in the busy months I recommend to start early, we started at 7:30/8am which was great because it it felt like we had the whole town to ourselves and you’re able to run around and really get into the game without disturbing other tourists. Unfortunately we weren’t able to finish the scavenger hunt as my phone ran out…”
