Day 22 May 27th Chania, Crete, Greece

We arrive in Chania, ancient city in Crete this morning.  We are all dressed for the beach.  Going to a nice resort beach called Cabana Mare Beach Resort.  We boarded the bus and off we went.  Of course because it was a beach day, it was overcast and a little chilly.  We arrived at the resort and walked in to see beautiful lounge chairs around a pool. They had private cabanas and private hotubs.  The cushions on the chairs around the pool looked like they were at least six inches tall. Wow…. Well we headed through the pool area and out to the beach.  The chairs were still nice, just not as nice.  The cushions were only three inches tall there.  The water was really choppy and cold.  We paid for our chairs and took some pics and settled in with our kindles.  We did dunk our toes in the water, but only to say we had been in the Aegean sea.  We had a very short three hours there before we had to get back on the bus.  It took us to the ancient city of Chania.  I have to say that this is by far the dirtiest city we have been to in Greece. The guide dropped us and showed us to the old town and port.  We had an hour and a half.  We saw the old port, it was built by the Venetians and it did resemble Venice.  We walked around, ate some gelato, watched some fish eat peoples feet (fish spa) and then headed back to the bus and back on the boat. Probably our least favorite place in Greece so far.  But we did only see a tiny bit of Crete.
