Exploring Chania Old Town on a Trikke, Chania, Greece
Chania is the 2nd largest city of Crete and lies in the north coast of Greece. This colourful corner of Greek Island is full of brimming streets, maze like old town, venetian port, lively waterfront and a majestic lighthouse. If you are island hopping in Greece, Chania is definitely not to be missed out. We had only a day to spend in Chania and experience the corners of this city in a unique way.

Trikke is a chain-less, pedal-less 3 wheel electric cycle where the rider stands on top of the two foot platforms and control the movement of the vehicle.

And given that Chania has one, we absolutely enjoyed taking this tour.聽

In less than 5 minutes, everyone of us were comfortable with trick operation and we were ready to start the tour.
