heading to Chania, Crete? 🇬🇷 This charming city boasts history, stunning beaches, and delicious food, but there are a few things to know before you go! here is your ultimate travel guide: 🚗 I recommend getting a car to make it easier to get around. having a car at your disposal gives you a lot of opportunities to explore more beaches and historic sites. Be prepared for crazy drivers! 😎 many shops and restaurants close for a midday siesta, typically between 2-5pm. plan your day accordingly, or use this time to relax at the beach! ⛱️ from the lively Falassarna Beach to the secluded Balos Lagoon, Chania offers a beach for every mood. research and choose your perfect spot! 🥙 The food is all Greek, plus Cretian Greek food. If you’re not sure what to order, ask the waiter what the specialty is. Besides classic Greek dishes, the Cretian dishes include Cretian pasta, Cretian pie, and lots of fresh seafood. It’s often served family-style, with dishes big enough to share. 💰 while many places accept card, it’s wise to carry some cash for smaller shops and restaurants, especially in rural areas. ATMs are readily available! just keep an eye out. bonus tip: 🥾 europe’s longest gorge! this challenging 16km hike requires good shoes and planning (permits and early starts!), but i have heard the stunning scenery is worth it. is Chania on your Greece bucket list?! 🤔 #chaniacrete #greecetravel #solotraveler #adventuretravels #travelgreece🇬🇷 #beachfinds #foodieparadise #europetravel Chania Travel Guide, Things to do in Chania, Solo Travel in Crete, Beaches in Crete, Hiking in Crete, Greece Vacation Planning
