The Best of Chania: Spas, Massage, Diving, Cooking Classes and More (2026)

Chania is the old Venetian port town of western Crete: the Old Town and harbour sit at the centre, Nea Chora beach lies just west, and the resort strip of Agia Marina and Platanias runs along the coast further west, with Kalyves and Almyrida to the east. The seven lists cover spas, massage, yoga, gyms, diving, healthy cafes and cooking classes; yoga and healthy cafes have four places because only four passed our rule. Many venues are seasonal and close between November and April, so cards say so where the venue's own site does.
