You could try Piscine Ideales in Kalyves for inflatable hot tubs.

I've seen inflatable paddle boards in Intersport in Chania, perhaps they also do inflatable kayaks.

There's another app recommended to me called Mondly Greek although I don't have personal experience of using it.

I noticed an advertising board outside a small shop/office in Kalyves this week and remembered this thread on the forum.

I've been to Chania and back this morning. On the way at 9:15 the traffic wasn't bad in either direction however when returning at 11:30 the east bound traffic was backed up to the Souda turn off and the west bound traffic was considerably worse, backed up to about half way between Kalami and Kalyve...

Wonderful, thanks!

I await my first eBills with fervor

My advise regarding utility bills and because it suits me personally, is to opt in for receiving bills via email wherever possible. The Electricity company are great at sending them, with an English language option and it is very straightforward to pay them. I still receive my Water bills through t...

Thanks filippos. I know Fertility and Floraplant in Kalyves. I've never seen anything like a border fork or spade in either shop. They seem to stock something more like a pitch fork and shovel but that's not really what I'm after. I'll have another look and ask Giorgios in the next couple of days bu...

I am looking to acquire a good quality border fork and spade in the Chania area.

If anyone has such a thing for sale, or knows of a shop selling such items, please let me know.

I was in Simple City yesterday and noticed that they sold boxes flat pack in packs of 5 (I think). The boxes were located on the basement floor at the far end.

I was experiencing a problem with the internet dropping out for about 2 months. Initially it was dropping very infrequently but when I spoke to OTE on Wednesday they could see that it had dropped out over 60 times in the previous 2 days. Like you I was calling OTE but not getting to speak to anyone....

I've also had bergamot and cherry versions. Both lovely.

What do people use for testing internet speed? Is there a better option than speedtest and using the server it proposes?

Is it possible to buy Homebrew Beer Kits and accessories (e.g. steriliser, bottle tops) here in Crete in the Chania area?

Has anyone had any experience or know anything about the reputation of a neurosurgeon by the name of Papadakakis who practices in the Iasis Hospital in Chania.

Alternatively, does anyone have a recommendation for another neurosurgeon to perform lower back surgery?

Thanks in advance

I have been using a Halifax Clarity Mastercard to make cash withdrawals for the past 5 months. Almost all of the withdrawals have been made at the Piraeus Bank in Kalyves and I have never been charged for the service. Today when I tried to make a withdrawal at the Piraeus ATM in Kalyves I was prompt...
