I loved Chania, there are many tours to do around, from 6-100 euros aproximately per tour our full day trip to awesome beaches and areas nearby, so Id say thats super budget friendly. hostels start at like 15euro if thats a vibe you are into.

I felt very safe in Crete and chania, however keep in mind it is very very touristy. If you go to Crete I would definitely rent a car, otherwise you have to pay around 60 euros to go to each of the places you will want to visit. We paid 120 euros to rent a car for 3 days, I would say it was worth it if you can share this price with others! In Crete I really would not recommend the cities if you don’t feel like being in croweded overtouristy places, the tourism also makes the costs quite expensive- around 15 euros for a meal anywhere on the island. Definitely go to baloos lagoon and do a boat tour one day, this was an amazing nature experience. Also visit seitan Limani if you like hiking, but keep in mind it’s very crowded!! However very worth it! Elafonisi beach which is very popular is crowded but pretty, don’t expect pink sand though!

Chania is overall a safe city in Chania and in comparison to Athens is much much safer when it comes to mugging. Women should be cautious anyway when it comes to sexual harassment. Incidents have taken place in the city and nobody should be blindly trusted even if the overall atmosphere is welcoming and warm. As in every country and city around the word, kindness could be just a mask.

I felt really safe even after dark. Men are usually mostly tourists that seem to be respectful. They dont approach you out of nowhere, and they barely try anything which was awesome and made my trip super chill.
