If you come to western crete the cost is lower than rethimno heraklion or ag nick areas ,but local wine,krasi, and local spirit raki etc are still very cheap, we get 20 ltrs of red or white for around 21 euros , we still get friends from leyland preston area coming for 2 week hols regularly, cost of meals vary according to the taverna but we can recommend some localy who`s prices are around the 25 to 30 euros for two people inc wine and free raki, Chania city is expensive but still if you shop around a good meal can be got, watch where the greeks eat, they won`t pay top money, Tamam a turkish taverna in the side streets does a roaring trade with Cretans allyear long, to name but one, any more info feel free to ask. if you are retired and can come any time early year you can get good bargains all inclusive at the lois crete, malame, Platanias is expensive to eat out, but as I say, ask and we will help if we can.
