Wow, just WOW! Chania is an amazing town, especially in the old port district which is right where Deb’s place is located. Literally 2 blocks from the harbor and 50 feet to several charming restaurants. Staying here is like being transported back in time. The culture, the architecture, the FOOD!!! It is all so wonderful to experience, and literally steps out the front door. Despite the close proximity, the noise was never really a disturbance.
Deb is well connected and knows all the best places to visit, spots to watch sunset, and can help get you set up with guides for some of the area attractions. We visited Samaria Gorge National Park, but want to come back to do Elafonisi Beach as well. I highly recommend visiting Chania and I can’t imagine a better host than Deb.
