Newsagents and foreign books

Most tourist resorts will usually have shops selling foreign newspapers and a mainstream selection of paperbacks. The choice is usually limited, prices are about a third higher than in the country of origin.

If you are looking for anything beyond the mainstream newspapers, magazines and books in Chania with a wider choice of reading and a good selection of Crete and Greece related books try Pelikanakis (in Halidon Street). They also stock a large selection of books, maps and guide books by Greek and Cretan publishers. These are often quite cheap but vary in quality so take a good look at them before buying..
Rethymnon also has a few good bookshops
