The Book Store
About
On Crete, The Book Store occupies Leof. Karamanli 65, Chania 731 34, Greece, a bookshop in the island's second city.
Shoppers head here for bookshelves in the heart of Chania, a short walk from the old harbour area. A 4.7/5 rating from 61 reviews places it among the better-reviewed bookshops in western Crete. First-time visitors can expect a compact shop rather than a sprawling chain, with the stock reflecting the interests of a resident and visitor readership. The shop's website, http://thebookshopchania.wixsite.com/thebookshop, is its online presence.
Reaching the shop from the main resorts and towns is straightforward, since Chania anchors the western end of the island and Rethymno and Heraklion lie east along the north coast. Visitors based in Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra or Sitia face a longer drive west to reach this part of Crete.
Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, so a day in Chania pairs well with a long lunch. Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus.
