Decent local nappies in Crete?

wensday

Hi we are off to Crete tomorrow :j with our 5 month old. We normally use cloth nappies at home and aldi disposables if we are out all day or if he's staying at my mums.
I don't want to be bothering with washing nappies when I'm on holiday but don't want to take up all our luggage space with disposables.

Has anyone used Greek nappies and have recommendations? I refuse to pay out for pampers when I don't even pay out for them here! Equally I don't want to buy a pack and find they are useless and waste my money (we will be living off salad for the holiday as it is!!)
I know there's a lidl near our apartment but I've just tried them and so far every one has leaked

Anyone?

Many thanks xxx

Many UK tour operators to Greece offer pre-bookable baby packs that contain nappies and some food. These are a worth it for, while baby food in jars and disposable nappies are available in supermarkets, mini-markets and pharmacies, they are often very expensive and rather limited in choice (you may see Nestlcr!e and Pampers), particularly in the islands where there might not be deliveries every day. Fresh whole milk is widely available: look out for Delta and Fage brands: but you should always take adequate supplies of your own formula milk powder if you are bottle feeding. Hotel shops often sell Pampers nappies as well as beach toys, sweets and reusable aqua nappies. If you do need to buy baby supplies, be sure to do so in the morning as shops close in the afternoon.

just pulled that from babycentre website

Hi OP I think you will find Aldi supermakets in crete. A plus point they are just like the ones at home, even down to the shelf sacking.
Enjoy your holiday Crete is brill
