Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- CHARLESKH55Tonbridge, UK3,463 contributionsHave been to Chania old town a few times over the years we have always found something new to see. The shops, restaurants, bars, the old market, the small backstreets where the old houses are now being renovated some into ABB’s. Lots of choice of different restaurants for different budget’s. Sightseeing and shopping. Taxi ranks or bus stations for local buses or further afield. Nice place to visit again and again.Written 22 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sweeton CCanada102 contributionsExcellent art gallery with a wide variety of paintings and sculptures available for sale. 2 stories of work and spills out on to the street.Written 10 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IcicleCreekUnited States153 contributionsDon’t miss this store if you visit Margarites. Not only do owners Giorgis and Mariniki Dalamvelas have an extensive selection of (affordable) items, Giorgis provides pottery-making demonstrations on a wheel in the shop, and shares numerous examples of the innovative ways Minoans and later Cretan residents used pottery for everyday tasks. Giorgis makes the pottery but Mariniki is the artist who creates intriguing designs on the finished products. She also packed our purchases well so they made it home safely.Written 18 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bdon257Morpeth, UK4,987 contributionsThis is in the heart of the historic pedestrian area of the town, the lion fountain is just in front and the Town Hall a few meters away. The art exhibition changes so always something different to see. It is housed in a former basilica.Written 13 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Andrea tCarlton, UK38 contributionsWe have visited this place every year since 2019 and always a new piece of pottery to remind us of our stay and have trouble deciding what to take as there is so much choice. Staff are always very friendly and helpful and always package up your purchases well.

- Bob GKaiwaka, New Zealand239 contributionsWe found it by chance, near the Catholic church and up some stairs. I see others paid entry but we didn't seem to get asked for any money.
It's an odd assortment of artefacts, nothing too stunning. But worth a look. No explanations in English so treat it as a floor of pot pouri
There's a lady doing stunning embroidery of rural village life scenes. The bigger ones take her 3 months each and they are impressive. All from her imagination she said. It's worth going just to see these piecesWritten 15 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The shop is amazing and the prices are cheap, especially in comparison theirs works: a beautiful art mix with a lot of humor.

- KatleenKortAntwerp, Belgium5 contributionsDuring our holiday in Chania we have visited this very nice jewelry shop. Immefiately we received a very warm welcome by this nice family.
From the first moment I was impressed by their handmade jewelry and their customer friendliness. It is clear that they hold their customers in high esteem and go out of their way to make them happy. Thanks to their great service we have a very beautiful souvenir, reminding us from a wonderful holiday.
In short, our experience at Alexia Jewelry was perfect and I would definitely recommend this jeweler to others.
