Thanks to Irene for her apartment in Chania - a great old city and a good time of year to appreciate its charms as the season rolls to a close. We visited in October. We enjoyed the old and new elements of the city, which the apartment affords.
As for the apartment, it is basic accommodation, a few minutes walk to a bayside beach. Elements of the immediate neighbourhood were abandoned at the time of our visit, but overall it feels lively enough with families, and small businesses close by.
Locals were generous to us, with their time and conversation. Chania is definitely worth a visit.
