We had a lovely stay in the villa, it was very well equipped and as it looks in the pictures. Maria (the owner) was great and very helpful, even making us a meal one evening 😀. The village does have a couple of local restaurants, small mini-market and a bakery and is about 15mins from Chania in a taxi. The beach is a good 20 min walk (2km) downhill on way and very nice. There is a bus into Chania (number 15) once an hour. Would recommend a car. We rented from Tellus just beside the beach which was reasonable and no hassle getting deposit back. Overall a great holiday
