Hippie Shop
About
Hippie Shop, on Crete, sits at Kondilaki 30, Chania 731 31, in the island's western port city. First-time visitors should expect a compact shop rather than a large store, with stock laid out for browsing on foot through a walkable old quarter. A 4.8 out of 5 average from 25 reviews marks it as well regarded among those who have stopped in, and the website at http://www.elephantstore.gr/ offers a look beforehand.
Chania anchors the western end of Crete, and the towns of Rethymno, Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia lie east along the same island, so a stop here fits a route between them. The shop sits in Chania itself, which makes it reachable on foot for anyone staying in the city rather than requiring a detour.
Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus, so shopfront names take a moment to match up.
Horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus, which is worth knowing when planning meals around a day of wandering. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so leaving slack in onward travel plans helps.
