I loved staying in the Old Town and being able to walk to restaurants, the Venetian Harbour and the bus station without needing a car. But depending on the type of trip you're planning, several areas around Chania may suit you better.

Spending a week based in Chania’s Old Town, I slipped easily into a simpler Mediterranean rhythm, where days revolved around incredible food, lazy afternoon siestas, and sunsets that turned the harbour into golden and rose-pink hues night after night…

To be 100% honest with you, I really wasn't planning on coming to Uruguay... Let alone Montevideo...
