Giorgos and Hannah have been one of the best hosts we ever came across. The Airbnb is located is at a lovely marine, quiet and away from touristic hotels but it’s right in between Chania city (10 mins driving) and another lively town 15 mins walking. Also local shops and cafes if you need to pop out to buy something quick and small (2-5 mins walking) local beaches along the coast, walking distance as well.
Chania city is absolutely breathtaking beautiful, super lively, with places to eat local as well as to have a fancier meal or cocktails and to go out or have a good coffee for lunch. It’s much bigger then we could’ve imaged.
We rented a car for a week, which I recommended getting if you drive as it’s super cheap to rent - about €200, it’s literally 7 mins driving from this Airbnb to Chania, 20 mins to airport and many most picturesque beaches and sea coasts are all only 20 mins - 1 hour away.
Also Giorgos is a great guide that will try to find out what kinda places you like and are into, and will try recommending places and beaches suited to your needs so ask him or Hannah! They are both really helpful :)
And most importantly, if you look up the place online-don’t let it put you off, the photos really don’t do justice!
