I went to chania in Crete for a long w-e alone. I stayed on a hostel that was 25€ the night. And was very well located. And thanks to this hostel I make friends which whôm I did a lot of activities and beach I will recommend you to do excursions. If you go in the hostel they always proposed a lot of them. The weather was very nice. And i really enjoy it

In my opinion, this is the most Greek of the islands. However, it is not particularly green, it is rather rough and full of rocks. Here you can experience the most Greek hospitality. If someone loves to try local cuisine, this is the ideal island. In many taverns, you feel as if you are eating dinner with family. Before the meal you get bread with olive oil, and after the meal dessert/fruit and a small bottle of raki. Usually this is complimentary or for an additional 1 euro per table. The island has long sandy beaches, small little isolated ones, and the famous Balos Lagoon. You can also...
