I stayed in Chania for 5 nights and used it as a nice base for exploring Western Crete. It is an ideal town to stay in as a jumping off point to Samaria Gorge, Balos, Elafonisi....
The Venetian harbour is the center of Chania. Tourists, locals, and dogs wander amid the tavernas, bars, and souvenier shops. Food is overpriced here, but the views make up for it. I'd suggest settling into a comfortable chair with a frappe or something stronger & watch the sun set & the world go by. Enjoy a good meal at a reasonable price elsewhere.
