Blue Moon was very convenient for us. We were a 5 to 10 minute walk to the waterfront, a 5 minute walk to the Central Market. Be sure to walk thru the back alleys of residences to get to the market as it is quaint with lots of interesting shops. We had a rental car to tour the mountain villages south of Chania and the villages south of Heraklion. We liked the aspect of staying in a lively town yet was convenient for day trips in our car. Parking can be a little tough, especially on a Saturday night but we managed. We were greeted with fruits, bread ham and cheese to tide us over as our arrival was at night. Good restaurant right next door, The Well of the Turk for a late dinner upon arrival. The tub upstairs is more convenient for a soak as the shower attachment can spray a bit too much. Balcony upstairs was a favorite spot to sip wine or coffee, listening to the sounds of the neighborhood. The windows seemed well insulated to keep out most of the lively night noise and the mini split air conditioner helped as ambient noise. Nice conveniences like Kleenex boxes, wash cloths, paper napkins.
