Howdy,

I'm looking for a couple of things in Chania. We are having our wedding there next June and I am researching several things for the wedding. Looking for restaurants that do catering, flower shops, and liquor/wine shops. Would love some local insight on places that would fit the bill. Cheers!

hello
my grand- grandfather was born has Chania ( La Canée in french ) in 1872.
its name was Antoine Roubaud .His father (Marius Antoine Roubaud) came to Crete in 1862. His wife had the name of Annunzio .il was still alive in 1896.
His brother (François Roubaud) was also in Crete. He had several children.
They were carpenter. is what this name still exists in Chania ?
thank you

does the bus from Chania to Omalos go all the way to the entrance of Samaria Gorge or does it just stop at Omalos and you have to walk the rest of the way?

Will the Nea Chora be a good base for a family with young kids? How close is old town by foot? any feedback on christina apartments?

Hi, I'm looking for either a studio flat or a domatia for myself from 15th May to 23rd May 2008 inclusive, preferably in Chania itself. Can anyone help, please. Ruth

My family and I are going to Chania from the 16th of June and we are going to stay for a week.

Normally we stay somewhere in the middle of Chania and Platanias but we have always been driving to the Marathi beach.

This year we like to stay at Marathi, and we are looking for a nice apartment for four in the Marathi area.

Any suggestions?

I have been to this island many times b/4 but have never rented a car. I am flying in From Athens during mid august (I know, major holiday in Greece that week) and would like to reserve a car for rent as this will be a very busy week. Can anyone tell me where i can find Cheap car rental?

any response would be greatly appreciated.

First, are there banking machines allowing the withdrawl of Euros?

Second, I understand that renting cars from around the airport is expensive, where do you suggest renting?

Third, if we stay at the Ammos Beach Hotel, how difficult is it to get into the old town (by car, or other ways)?

I ate at a wonderful restaurant in the Venitian Old Town on the waterfront. At the end of the meal they served, I believe, vanilla ice cream and a wonderful liquor. What is the liquor? Thank you in advance.

Hey, what is the nightlife like in Chania? is it busy all year round or just in the pek summer months?

Hi - has anyone stayed at the Neli Studios near the cathedral. I'm thinking of reserving a couple of rooms in advance as we'll be staying on a Greek holiday weekend and I've been quoted a good rate.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, does anyone know of these apartments in Chania. They are with Olympic this year but they do not have any pictures, info etc. on their website. Any information on them and Chania would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
