Staying in Chania can be amazingly fun and wont leave you dissapointed generally. However, when it comes to the mesimeri time when lots of Greeks sleep (which is during the hottest time of the day) the TV can sometimes be your only form of entertainment.
Currently sitting with my partner and her family and watching a show called 'δέστε τους' where most of the panel members are loud and over the top. It can provide some great laughs if you can understand Greek but generally it isn't for the tourists coming to Greece.
The news here which seems to be on the global network also leaves something to be desired. With news in the UK or the USA the main layout of a show includes the opening tasters of the news packages which then leads into the presenter reading off each one. However in Greece, the general rule of thumb is to show some sort of package while four or five people are arguing madly over whos right and wrong.
Recently Greek news has been showing mobile phone footage of the violent protests between police and protesters. Constantly showing the police violence it proves a lot about the terrible things the riot police do here.
Like everything Greek it all turns into a drama.
