On the ascent of Gingilos the path turns into the re-entrant, heading for the rocky pinnacles (Walk 3)

Chania

A farmers’ market (and cheap clothing) operates on Saturday morning in Minos Street beside the old city wall, east side, and on Wednesday mornings in Solomou Street about three blocks south from Chania bus station; anyone will direct you because townspeople are very keen on small-scale home-grown produce. All food supplies are available in the Agora and the supermarket opposite its west-facing entrance. Convenient to the bus station is a branch of Inka supermarkets on the west side of Plateia 1866.

Corner shop Karistiyannis has a selection of outdoor equipment as does a ‘survival’ shop opposite, in Skalidi, one block west of Plateia 1866. A cheap clothing shop can be found opposite the north entrance of the bus station. A plastics shop that sells sheet polythene by the metre (camping mattress protection) is found opposite the bus station pedestrian entrance, northeast corner. Mountain trekkers are advised to bring their own cooking pans since cheap lightweight pans are not easy to find nowadays. For tools, gas stoves and cylinders there are various household goods shops near the bus station. A foreign books and newspapers shop is near the corner of Skalidi with Halidon. Also at the top of Halidon there are ATMs and money-change agents. A short way down on the right the bookshop Pelekanakis stocks walking maps and foreign books. There are various travel agencies for flights and ferryboat reservations in the downtown area including one on the NW corner of Plateia 1866.
