Our hosts greeted us upon arrival and were very friendly and helpful. They often sat in the reception area when we returned from our day's adventure, and we usually stopped in to chat and tell them what we experienced. They went out of their way to help us.

Katerina Tradional Rooms lies in the center of the Old Town Chania and is within a short stroll to the harbor, the restaurants and small shops - as well as to the main street. Our large room was charming, with french doors that opened out to the balcony overlooking the narrow street below.

We used our B&B as a base for taking hikes in Samaria and Imbros. We also took a boat trip to Gramvousa/Balos from Kissimos and had hike from Chora Sfakion to Loutro, staying there for one night. Chania is within a short drive to many attractions in eastern and southern Crete. One thing to mention for those who chose to rent a car - it is not always easy to find parking near the Old Town. We always managed to find a spot, but usually had to walk about 5-10 minutes to and from the car.

What we knew we would miss most from our stay was sipping coffee/tea on the balcony in the morning and enjoying good drink in the evening - with traditional Greek music from the restaurant below!
