Summary

Chania was our first port of call on the Disney Dream's Greek Isles itinerary, and I went in with a local advantage — an American TikToker who lives in Chania and gives restaurant and neighborhood recommendations. I followed her suggestions for the day and had one of the best port stops of the entire cruise. In this episode I am covering: How the DCL buses work getting from the ship into Chania and back — easy, no stress The Jar: Freddo Cappuccinos, peanut butter banana toast, and a turtle pond I almost did not leave What the old town of Chania actually looks like — Old World coastal, Venetian architecture, nothing like the Santorini and Mykonos photos in your head Why Chania does not need a tour and rewards independent wandering The best port shopping of the entire cruise — clothes, souvenirs, a hat for 15 euros, and Brian's outfit that tore the first time he wore it Lunch at Chrisostomos: a pork platter, Cretan bruschetta with mizithra cheese, a Cretan salad, local beers, and complimentary donut holes Why Cretan food is a great option if you are not a seafood person The street cats of Chania (an important topic) Finding out that the next day in Mykonos was going to be the busiest day of the month at that port — and booking a private tour immediately Next episode: Mykonos — a private tour with a guide named Fotis, a cat sanctuary with a grocery store stop for cat food, a septum piercing that finally happened, and a server at a bar called Duck who we are still following on Instagram.
