      Hi! I wld be going down to Chania for a short break during our Crete vacation in early June. While we wld be spending most of our time in Heraklion, Chania seems to be a good option to check out for a couple of days (specially interested in going to Elliphonisi Beach). I need some help in figuring out a great place to stay in Chania (maybe overlooking the harbour). There'll be 3 of us (12-yr old son, wife & I) and our budget is approx. E150 per night.

    • Crete for 3 weeks...but where?!

      Greece May 7, 2013 at 12:16 PM

      My wife and I are fortunate enough to have 3 weeks to spend in Crete this coming summer; woot!

      Our main interests are; 1) Seeing historical sites; 2) Enjoying charming towns and good tavernas; and 3) Seeing the ocean.

      That said, we are at a quandary regarding where to stay. We do NOT want to move around every few days, so have come up with a few options:
      1) Spend 1 week in Sitia, seeing the eastern part of the island; Spend 1 week in Rethymno; Spend 1 week in Chania....and of course, a couple nights Iraklion to fly in and out and see Knossos.

      2) Spend 1.5 weeks in Rethymno; and 1.5 weeks in Chania

      3) Spend 1.5 weeks in Chania OR Rethymno; spend 1.5 weeks somewhere in the south.
      So.... what does everybody think?

      In advance, many thanks : )

      I am hoping to attend my brother's wedding in Skiathos next year. However, I am concerned about my young daughter who has a severe nut and shell fish allergy. I hope we have an uneventful visit, but does anyone have any experience of the Skiathos Medical Centre? I'd like to know whether they would be able to deal with an anaphylactic reaction or whether my daughter would need to be transferred to a mainland hospital.
