Greece is the word

We went on holiday to Greece! People want to know if we had a nice time and if we would recommend it. This is now a really challenging question, now that we have a small person that follows us around and makes her feelings very evident at every occasion. In a nutshell if she's happy, we are.
The facts are:
1) The sea was VERY clear and the beaches pretty
2) We managed to find loads of local beaches (15 minutes drive away) that were only about 40 metres long and had two handfuls of people on. Mostly locals.
3) The food was nice, but very baked. We ate a lot of hot food, with the only alternative seeming to be Greek salad (which is nice, but not every meal).
4) Chania is a pretty town with a lot of tourists in it. Great places to eat, drink and people watch but not much else interesting.
5) Chania has a Starbucks which does sell Mocha Cookie Crumble Frapacinno's
6) The sun feels good warming your skin wherever it is warm.
7) Starbucks (the 2 year old) enjoyed paddling in the water and continually filling up her bucket and emptying as if there was a purpose to watering the beach. We enjoyed sitting in the shallow water while she did this, talking.
8) There was a lot of graffiti, and not political slogans or social commentary, but tagging?

I had a nice time. Nice is the word. Would i go back? Yeah. But i have a child now, so adventuring into far off places is currently on hold.
