Great apartment literally 60 seconds stroll from a sandy beach where it is very safe to swim. The locals part of town surrounding the bay where you can swim has at least 15 places where you can eat and drink for very reasonable prices. They are excellent. The main old town with the bay / lighthouse / charming shopping and eating establishments is only a 5-10 minute stroll from the apartment. Chania is a wonderful holiday place for couples to unwind and have a great time. We have already returned once and will do so again. 5 stars from me and my wife.
