I have to be honest. Finding parking in Chania is not the most straightforward task you will have in your holidays<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town’s streets can get exceptionally busy, which may give you a hard time if you come here by car. Yet, worry not. I have done the hard work for you and prepared an ultimate list of the best parking spots in Chania.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before we get into the details, you need to know one or two things about parking in Chania<\/strong>. First, like any big city, Chania is subject to some regulations regarding parking. And this boils down to the color markings you find around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Color Markings in Chania<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, if the markings are yellow, you cannot park there. Only special vehicles or residents with permits can. Don’t worry, though. You won’t see them much around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if the markings are blue, you need to pay for parking. Just look for the nearest parking meter, insert some coins, and you are ready to explore Chania on foot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that you need to have real coins or banknotes; most parking meters don’t accept cards – at least not yet. You will find twenty-nine active parking meters around Chania, for a total of 746 parking spots<\/strong>– so plenty of options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If looking for coins sounds too much of a hassle, look for parking places with white markings. These will be your favorite spots. The reason? Well, they are free! Who could ask for more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the gist of color markings in Chania. Yet, this applies only to public parking spaces. When it comes to private parking, there are two main alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private Parking in Chania<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For one, you can use the service of dedicated parking parks, which may charge you on a per-hour basis. Since these guys are professionals, they guarantee your car’s safety, leaving you with the peace of mind you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second option is to use the private parking from the hotel or studio you are spending the night. Not only will that cost you nothing, but you will be parking your car right next to your room! That means less walking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a heads up, when you visit Chania, prepare to walk quite a lot<\/strong>. Everything here is pedestrian-friendly, which is also why finding parking in Chania can be tricky<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you ask me, that is a welcoming compromise. There is nothing like exploring the old town without the need to look out for passing cars. Still, many parts of the city, especially its more modern neighborhoods, often have too much traffic. And I do mean too much!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, to ensure your time in Chania goes smoothly, you need to find a good parking spot. So, let’s dive right into the complete list of all parking alternatives in Chania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
