A shepherd and EOS members at Katsiveli

There are several websites with accommodation information and for reservations. Former youth hostels are now independent hostels or ‘budget’ hotels (see Appendix D). In Chania there are two hotels beside the bus station, but most town centre accommodation, along with restaurants, bars, tourist shops and snack bars, is found in and around the old harbour area, a 10–15min walk from the bus station. There is a town campsite along the coast west of town near Platanas (accessible via a town bus route from the bus station – ask the driver for ‘Chania camping’).

In Heraklion mid- or budget-priced accommodation is also some distance from the bus station. Hotel Rea (tel. 0030 2810 223638), in a street just behind the Historical Museum, is offered as a suggestion. Rethymnon old quarter, a semi-pedestrian precinct around the harbour, has rooming houses (and all other amenities). Unfortunately, late-night scooter riders tend not to respect its pedestrian-precinct status.
