Souda - Chania Port Guide - What To Do In Chania On A Day In Port

Souda in Crete is a very popular Greek destination port for cruise ships, but what is there actually to do in Souda on a port day? The answer is, not a lot really. but only a short ride away is the beautiful Creten town of Chania, one of the most popular towns in Crete.
In this, What To Do In Port in Souda / Chania video, we show you how easy it is to get into Chania Town from the cruise ship port in Souda then take you on a whistle stop tour of the Chania Town.
If you've found this video from asking the question, How long does it take to get to Chania from Souda, then this is the video for you. The answer is around 20 minutes on a very affordable bus (1.5 Euro each way) and the bus station is within 2 minute's walk from where the cruise ship docks.
Chania is a city on the northwest coast of the Greek island of Crete. It’s known for its 14th-century Venetian harbour, narrow streets and waterfront restaurants.

You may be asking yourself, What is there to do in Souda or Chania? In this video, we take you on a walk through the town, stopping off to take a look inside the stunning St Nicholas Church to the famous Chania Town harbour, where we walk all the way to the very famous 16th century Chania Lighthouse, one of the world's oldest lighthouses.
We then make our way around the harbour, occasionally stopping for a beer and some food, before strolling through the Venetian Harbour, taking a look at what it has to offer.
Once suitably refreshed, we start to make our way back to the bus stop, taking a look at some of the shops in the town before getting to Market Square where we take our bus back to the port at Souda.

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint KZbin channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

Aah Greece. Exotic, friendly, warm and oh yes, olives. We love olives. We've been to Crete. We also love the Greek people. Friendly, helpful and generous. What a great promo for Greece. Your boat trips are awesome. Love how you find the pearls to visit and divulge the information. Thanks for this pleasant watch. 👌🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

A trip down memory lane - Arrival outside the old market and the workmen and noise is embedded in our memories too .. such a pretty place.: brilliant to mooch and explore .. loved that church .. beautiful … The harbour area is stunning … The walk to the lighthouse is such fun ..Beers ahoy ! We walked to the neighbouring beach which was a stretch of beautiful sand .. What an awesome place Chania is .. We loved it. Thx for taking back there Wills and Rach !!

[@PostcardAndAPint]

That's great. We had no idea about the port at all. It was such a lovely place and gorgeous to wander. We felt we had enough time there with Marella, if there's time for a beer then that's good with us! Cheers 🍻

[@TravelingTramps]

Great to hear all the improvements being made during your opening monologue in Chania, Rachel and Wills! 🤣🤣We enjoyed the city tour and loved seeing the church. The Orthodox churches are so different from most of ours and this was stunning. Beautiful port and it's great to see where John and Cara were engaged! Our films may last forever on KZbin, but will anyone watch? Loved the tour. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Hahaha it was soo loud! It's a lovely little port and we had no idea when we were there that it was where John and Cara got engaged when we were there. The churches are amazing in Europe. So much history. Cheers for watching and sending you loads of love 🍻

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

I was going to say what a lovely video, Crete or Greece or wherever the hell it is looks flamin' marvellous. But I just noticed... 6K!!! I reckon it content just like this that gets you this continual surge of subs. Cheers to the best travel vloggers from North Wales. Nah, the best in the whole damned British Isles. Totally brilliant. Rach and Wills you have my heartiest congratulations 🎉🍺🍻

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Ah our favourite Australian!!! Cheers for that. We hit the 6K today on a bus back from Monte Carlo! Were chuffed beyond belief. Cheers for watching and your support! Get ready for a whole new series of vlogs from the Med! Cheers 🍻

[@yasminshikingmission]

Hi rach and wills 😊 love all the cats about 😁 beautiful church but it was that stone lighthouse I loved the look of. Never seen one like that and cool to hear how old it is. I would have done the same and found a quiet spot for food 😊 Beautiful views over the water. Looked like you had a nice day.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

It was such a lovely surprise as we didn't know much about much port at all. It's a lovely place and well worth a visit. Cheers 🍻

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

Ooh nice one guys, Chania looks fabulous! Always take the long way to see the kitties, obvs!😻😸. Pete has never been to Greece, and i haven't since i was a kid, but we have just booked a holiday to one of the Greek Islands for September, super excited!🤩. Hopefully it won't be quite as hot then as it was for your trip 🤞. Fab video and slick editing as ever!😊👌 All the best, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Ooo we're so excited for you! A lovely trip to Greece! Which island are you going to? Cheers for watching this, our little stop gap whilst we were away!! 🍻

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

​@@PostcardAndAPint decided on Kefalonia, as it supposed to be a nature lovers paradise. We are super excited! 8 weeks to go😊. Hope you two had a fabulous time away. We can't wait to watch the vlogs!😊🙌

@@o.bsoutdoors3871 nice choice!!!! That was out very first holiday as a couple!!! X

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

@@PostcardAndAPint Ah no way!! It looks really beautiful there. But it looks like you can't really go wrong with the Greek Islands, there are loads of others we want to visit too x

Sensational guided tour!! Great presentation!! Big Like for your video!!

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Thank you so much. We know there is much more to Chania and we'd love to visit again, but we hope that anyone who just has a day off a ship will find this useful. Cheers 🍻

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Don't know much about Chania, but all looks lovely. Glad to hear that is gives off Christmas vibes. Never sacrifice time with cats! Love the green mint chocolate chip ice cream. Got the six packs yet?

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Six packs still pending I'm afraid!! Just been on another cruise so they're buried a tad deeper now! We always find Christmas as you know! Cheers for watching 🍻

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Of course Wills would think of Saint Nicholas as Santa. Isn't he also the saint for sailors? I just learned that from visiting coastal churches in England!

[@PostcardAndAPint]

I'm not sure! I think Santa did derive from the Greek saint. Anyway any St Nicholas is good enough for Wills! Cheers 🍻

[@billyb5057]

good tour even if I have no idea where you are cool exploring nice sea views *🌞have a cool week🔆👍like☑full view✅🥸Au🦘*

Cheers Billy. It's Crete a Greek island. Thanks for watching 🍻

Ian would also recommend that you skip the rabbit stew!

I’m getting a postcard?!?! 🤗

We filmed this last year!! You can have one from Wales if you want!! Cheers 🍻

[@kennethfinnegan2978]

You didn’t like the “Dutch” comment? It’s a line from Austin Powers. It’s a hypothetical statement. It’s supposed to be funny.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Haha sorry Ken, missed that one 😂

[@kennethfinnegan2978]

@@PostcardAndAPint I meant it’s a hypocritical statement. How can you hate people who judge other people, and hate the Dutch too. Michael Kane said it, and it was funny when he said it.

Very picturesque, excellent filming, 👏. Super enjoyable, 🔥. Just a tad disappointed that the dad jokes seem to have stopped. Having said that, though I don't have access to your data, there may be a big drop off prior to the joke in viewership. If so, ignore 😊. Like deployed 👍 P.s. 🫂

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Haha, cheers mate. Don’t worry, the dad jokes haven’t stopped, it’s just we don’t do them unless we finish the video with a round up and a drink. And guess what, we’ve filmed part of next week’s video and your joke is the joke and you get a mention haha. Getting off board our ship tomorrow and looking forward to start on the next few weeks videos from Tuesday. Cheers as always 🍻
