On a particularly nice day we took the bus to Chania for lunch with Alain and Pascale who have built a house inland from Paleo in Kandanos. We nearly didn't make it having stood for half an hour at what we thought was a bus shelter on the new road close to the campsite. The bus takes a different route (through the villages) so a mad uphill cycle dash was made through an olive grove! (Freewheel all the way back!) In Chania we ate at a superb fish taverna on the New Harbour Blue Flag beach, having kakavia - Cretan bouillabaisse -, followed by free walnut pastry! We then took coffee beside the old harbour (above) with a roof top view, and Pascale showed us where to shop - on which she is world expert after years of practice with daughters Marine & Alize!
The following week we had an extra rather dull day up North as the new apartment was not ready, so we went solo on the shopping with the car - managing to locate LIDL & Champion for delights not found in Paleo. (We also went back to the fish taverna!)
