Our favorite leg of our time on Crete.
Our favorite leg of our time on Crete. It was a great location to explore the western part of the island, with some of the major beaches (Balos, Elafonisi) at drivable distances from Chania. We also hiked Samaria Gorge, which we would definitely recommend. But the biggest surprise was how much we enjoyed the Old Town of Chania. Strolling around the Venetian Harbor was picturesque and lively, and at the end of our stay we found ourselves already trying to plan our next visit.

Great area in Chania, Crete, very good hotel.
Great area in Chania, Crete, very good hotel. Beach is very good and very sandy, staff is very friendly, the all inclusive is well worth it unless you do not like buffet style. The ala cart restaurant has good good food but did not like to pay for drinks even for the water when I had an all inclusive package. Book third floor on the ocean side because the trees block the ocean on lower levels

I don’t understand what is special about this town. It’s crowded, dirty, loud, pricey. I came mainly for Knossos and that was completely overrated. My least favorite city in Crete so far. I could’ve done without it.

Crete is am amazing island with a very long history and many places to visit to learn about their history and to see the buildings left behind by the various civilizations who have lived there. Heraklion is situated in the center of the long and narrow island and that facilitates visiting all the interesting places in a day trip each.
The people who live in Heraklion are friendly and hospitable, everyone we interacted with , and I mean everyone, spoke quite good English.

We stayed in the old section of town which has generally been updated while keeping the historic look. Most of the streets are pedestrian only, very narrow and lined with wonderful restaurants, artsy shops, and boutiques of clothing and jewelry. The merchants are very friendly and helpful whether you make a purchase or not. The area is calm and safe to walk around even late at night. We rented a car for four days and explored around the island. This was easy, fun to drive the mountain roads and see the thousands of years of history. We recommend eating at the family run Galini Restaurant which is located facing the Mediterranean Sea in the central area of the old town. Their prices are reasonable, food excellent and they always gave us extras with the comment, “ try this, it is typical Crete, no charge!”

Beautiful smaller city on the ocean with view of mountains.
Beautiful smaller city on the ocean with view of mountains. I liked the waterfront restaurants and the shopping areas. Easy to walk around and excellent sea food. Bigger city than I thought it would be and if I had to choose between cities in Crete then I would choose Rethymno over Chania. Rethymno is similar to Chania but about 1/2 the population.

It ended up being our favorite beach. Not as promoted as the others so we didn't plan for as much time there but next time we will definitely plan for a longer stay! The best fish tavern in all of Crete is at the light house, Captain Nicholas.

“Our vacation in fodele beach was fabulous. Nice variety of dishes and food outlets in general. Italian restaurant was excellent. The main restaurant (buffet style) was of high standards for an all inclusive resort. Didn't manage to try the Cretan and fish restaurant due to our short stay. Room was modern, spacious and very clean. Beach was equiped with all types of facilities. Very well organized beautiful beach. Staff delivered a real Cretan hospitality atmosphere during our stay. Thanks guys!”
“Excellent Staff who seem to genuinely care about your stay, even the gardener went out of his way to say hello. Stelios the Captain in the restaurant was a standout. Very clean with great facilities with a private beach and indoor and outdoor pools. Great wifi connection. Fantastic breakfast with lots and lots of choice.”
“The grounds were well cared for with beautiful flowers and trees. All of the food at the restaurants was delicious and fresh. There were many activities to enjoy right at the beach and nearby.”
“The property is a gorgeously restored olive oil mill with a world renowned olive oil chef running the restaurant. It felt you were in someone's home but they never got annoyed with you. Perfect balance of hospitality but not hovering over your every need. The restaurant was superb -- simple, local ingredients made into complex dishes. Really a wonderful stay in a place that feels "off the grid" yet is only 20 minutes from Rethymnon.”
“The property was amazing. The service and the overall attitude of everyone was helpful, courteous, and respectful. The food was amazing. The kids club activities were really great too.”
“The pools are amazing you have to get the lower ground rooms to have direct access to the pool. And the fact that’s it’s adults only is great! The breakfast buffet options are endless, definitely coming back again! Thanks for an unforgettable stay.”
