I wondered if you could advise what part of Chania Old Town I should stay in. I have trawled the internet for advice, but cant quite get the answer I am looking for. Looking down on the map, there is the touristy half horseshaped area where the main eating area is, but then the Venetian old harbor down to the far right of the map also has eateries AND accommodation.

It should take about 15 Mins to get their.
Any advice on which hotels are best to stay in to get the best out of Chania and that area. Ideally I'd like a hotel near the sea for swimming but handy enough to walk round the old town etc. Thanks.

The Royal Sun is up on the hill but they have free half hourly shuttles until midnight. around 5 minutes away. I rate this place highly because it punches above its weight. The rooms are large as is the pool and although it's priced as a 3 star hotel it's really 4 star. We paid around £50 a night
