First off, the place is incredibly picturesque, and comes with a full working kitchen. Nestled in a little mountain town, Maria was very helpful in giving directions directly to the apartment and very quick with responses. We received a very warm welcome from her family who took the time to show us around. Proximity to Elafonissi is about a 25 minute drive. Plenty of shops on the way from Chania. We enjoyed a meal at Lefteris tavern (would HIGHLY recommend the baby goat). All in all, wonderful family, wonderful stay. Very romantic.
