Description: This is a place for those travelers looking for the absolute cheapest place to stay. At 7000 Drachma ($20) for a double, it's a steal. There are goods and bads, however. Room number one is the best because you have a tiny balcony that overlooks the harbor, which is a great view. But beware, there is no air conditioning and it gets pretty hot. The ocean breeze is enough to cool the room down somewhat, but occasional mosquitos will come sauntering in of you leave the window open too long.
The place is run by a wonderful old woman who lives on the bottom floor with her husband. She speaks enough English to for you to have a small conversation and she'll bend over backwards to help in any way she can.
The location can't be beat: you're overlooking the harbor and you're within walking distance from everything in town. Also, check out the ruins from ancient Kaldonia, which are right across the street.
Chania is literally filled with pensions, domatia, and various rooms for rent, and this is one of the cheapest. The photo is from the balcony of room number one, looking out over the harbor.
