We enjoyed our stay at the Old Tannery. Accommodation was clean and well-equipped. When we arrived there was local wine, raki, fruit, vegetables and bread waiting for us. Aggeliki showed us around the house and communicated with us; her English is very good and she is really helpful. The owner, Anna, lives almost next door and is extremely friendly, she gave us vegetables and eggs during our stay. The views from the decking platform are great, spoilt a little by building work taking place opposite during our stay. We walked into Chania everyday and it took about 25/30 minutes, the best route follows the coast nearing the town. Buses go into town about 5 minutes walk uphill but they are not very frequent. There’s a decent Synka supermarket 10 minutes uphill from the accommodation and the bus from the airport drops you close to it on the way into town (Aggeliki will tell you the name of the stop). The area is fascinating having been the centre of the tannery industry. After years of neglect it is being developed so it would be a good idea to visit now as I would expect big changes taking place here with the conversions of the old buildings into flats, apartments, restaurants, small hotels and bars. Let’s hope they don’t ruin the area. The buildings are protected but the peace and quiet might not be.
