Kalliopi is a wonderful host and she treated us well. She is attentive and works hard to give her guests a good experience. She even made us a delicious cake! The apartment is clean, bright and spacious. Restaurants on the water are a block away, and are much more reasonably priced than at the main Venetian harbour.
There is an open air theatre directly across the street from this accommodation, and when a concert is held here, you will feel immersed. You don’t go to the nightlife, the nightlife comes to you…. and stays until midnight. The headliner from one of these concerts during our time was a big deal for those here in Greece, and many would have felt they had won the golden ticket to see and hear this musician up close. So we know there is keen interest from some people for this. Unfortunately, this did not work for us. By the end of our day, we are looking for a quiet place to rest and relax, and we struggled. This was a negative for us, but it might not be for everybody. Of course, this is completely out of the host’s control, and she is not at fault in any way. Kalliope was wonderful to us.
Music is a big part of life in Chania. So if you’re here on the night of a concert, the best advice is to commit to the experience and accept that you’ve scored prime balcony seats. You can decide for yourself if this is a good thing or not.
