A tip I have about this place — 1 year ago
My favorite of all Greece I visited. I would say stay away from the big cities like Chania and Irakleon and get out into the country. My favorites were Sivas/Matala and Falasarna just west of Kissamos. Watch the sunset at Falasarna from a little taverna on the road back into town. Its called Spilios or something similar meaning cave. The owner was the friendliest guy from the whole trip. We got to try his father’s homemade equivalent of Sherry. The family makes their own wine and Raki. A must visit!
