Chania at the kalliston resort and spa.

The shooting ground is out near Chania airport. The people were so friendly and hospitable. I just rocked up and had a chat to some guys who were having a beer outside and I was soon shooting with a gun that they got out of the armory.for me. The facilities were fantastic. I bought a box of cartridges 5€ and paid 10€ for the clays. How long are you staying there for? The club has a website. If you're interested I'll dig out back and find the details really nice place and friendly shooters. They do all sorts of shooting sports there. It's a bit like bisley.

I found this on the web.   >>>. t's the National Shooting Centre. It's an excellent facility and they may rent guns for visitors. The girl who runs it is English (Cindy) but I don't have a tel. number for her mobile. 

We're about an hour+ from Rethymnon. The club is on the outskirts of Kambani, a small village on the Akrotiri and only seven minutes from the main airport.

I bought the cartridges from Cindy. We stayed at a small hotel a couple of hundred yards away from the hotel where you are staying. It is called Corinna mare./star.
