completely as described - a short walk down the steps to the harbour with many restaurants to choose from, the bus from the airport cost €2.30 and very easy to do, dropped us a short walk from the old town. Would definitely recommend getting up and out early as Chania is beautifully quiet first thing in the morning and the lighthouse walk is lovely to do before the sun gets too hot. great to have a base to come back to as a reprieve from the humidity in the day. Lots to do in the harbour - we even saw a sea turtle swimming about!
