Chania, Crete Port Reviews

Beautiful little harbor with a few restaurants but you need to grab a taxi into the little village of Chania for a wonderful market spanning several blocks with every souvenir you could possibly think of and several al fresco tavernas. Great day!

Great harbor restaurants. Take the carriage rides. Would have been better if they docked close enough to Knossis to tour the ruins, but Chania was better than expected.

Love Chania was there in May this year on a day trip from Gouves . Plenty of nice restaurants & bars nice shops. There is a good Starbucks in the pedestrian area where horse drawn carriages operate. Plenty to do & see here

We went to Heraklion and saw the Knossos Palace. It was one of the highlights of the trip. It was a long way out there and back but beautiful countryside.

Kind of a joke from a port and excursion standpoint. Not much to see and do. Port was in a commercial/industrial part of the island. I think this port was added to beef up the ports of call on the itinerary. Would have rather had a day at sea!!

Beautiful city, especially at the Venetian Port. Great food and very reasonably priced. Like Bari, I'm glad we ignored the MSC advice to take their shuttle into town. MSC were charging 19 Euros for a child and adult, but the local bus company has a bus stop on the pier, just yards from the MSC bus, costing only 1.70 Euros. They left every 5 minutes or so and ran all day - no issues with getting about.

Cheapest port of call a very reliable and regular bus right outside the terminal for less than 4 euro return and drops you in the lovely quaint town of Chania you immediately see a building in front of bus stop and walk up those steps and you will enter the indoor market with the usual souvenirs but also some authentic shops lovely place next make your way down towards the harbour where there is shops and restaurants and a lovely area to relax in and spend a few hours. Only got like 5 hours here with Royal Caribbean wish we had more time.
