My girlfriend and I will be in Chania town for the entire month of January for a class I'm taking there. I'm looking for a studio at the minimum, potentially up to a 3-bedroom house/villa/apartment within 5kms of Chania town. Is there a site where I can find information for a stay of this magnitude, or can anyone point me to people to contact to find a rental?

Thanks :)

We are flying in from Athens on September 4th to Chania and will be going to Santorini from Heraklion on the 7th. Does someone have a good itinarary? What would be best to see as far as cities and villages in the middle?

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!

I will arrive in Chania in the early morning and i'll be looking for a cheap room/pension in Chania (somewhere in the city).

1- Do you know a place where i can sleep on a budget between 20/25 euros (not more...)?
I would appreciate it.

2- By the way..Should i just arrive and look for a room or is it bether to find something in advance here on the internet? Single rooms are not easy to find.

Thank u

Hi, myself, my boyfiend and his 11yr old son are flying into Chania at the beginning of July and want to head to the south coast of Crete to walk the Samaria gorge and visit Loutro. Does anyone have any tips where we should head to as a base and what kind of accommodation we could expect to find? We want somewhere quiet and not very developed but still things to do and places to eat. We are quite happy visiting secluded beaches, we like wildlife, ruins and castles and can we get someone to take us out on a boat? we like snorkelling so are there any good spots? Any help would be appreciated. We were thinking of heading to Hora Sfakion or Plakias - any suggestions?

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?

We arrive to Chania from Athens at the end of August sometime around 8pm; our hotel is right on the harbor.

I was reading around that we can take a bus or taxi. Do buses run that late there? What would the cost be taxi vs bus? And if we can take a bus, is it pretty hard to find the bus stop at the airport?

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?

Planning to be in Chania in early July.

Has anyone stayed at the Ammos Hotel (about 4 km west of Chania). Is the location convenient for evenings in old Chania? Are there tervernas or cafes in it's vicinity or is it very secluded.

How are the views from the sea side rooms? Hospitality?

Thanks for your help.

We are planning a 4 week family holiday in Crete, and have found some appartements in Almirida. Does anyone know this town, and do you have any tips, advices about staying there? Would you recommend the place?

Hey, im visiting Kalyves (its about 10min from Chania) with my family (very large one) and few friends - arriving on july 21, for two weeks. Anyone else going there (or in Chania area) at that time?? Anyone already been there ? :)

Has anyone stayed at the Anthi Studios/Apartments in Gerani and what is the village like. My mum are dad are visiting later in the year and I can not find anthing on these apartments apart from what the tour company says. Many thanks. Christine

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.

thinking of staying at the Akali can any body let me know what it is like , as it is appears to be on a main road would you have trouble sleeping at nights

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

Anyone that could recommend a good trustworthy car rental agency in Chania (we'll be staying 10 km out of town, in Agia Marina)

My 14yo son & I will be travelling to Greece from the US the first 2 wks of August. I know this is busy time. We will fly directly into Athens. I am trying to decide if we should then take a flight into Chania, or should we ferry? Your thoughts?? Same thing for the return. My father lives in Chania & we will probably stay w/him the majority of the time. However, since this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime trip, should I plan to do one or 2 overnites elsewhere? Was planning to head back to Athens 1 or 2 days prior to our return flight to check sites there. Any thoughts/tips are greatly appreciated! Also tips on what to pack.... ~ Taya

Me and my hubby are going to relocate to Crete and will be looking to work in an area full of tourists, dealing with tourists etc, mainly english, and hotels etc. Would like to know what area you would suggest to move to. Im going to Chania June for a week to look around, but wondered about Heraklion too.
Any other area you know.
Any help would be great.
