Nantia and Kostas are wonderful hosts and their home is a lovely retreat. We stayed for a week and enjoyed it very much. There are lovely beaches within walking distance, and an easy walk into Chania, just over half an hour. We walked the Samaria Gorge, which is stunning, about 17 Kms, a pretty challenging walk but worth every step of it. We hired a car for 3 days, which Nantia so kindly arranged for us and visited Falassana beach which is beautiful but can get pretty windy, the Botanical Gardens half an hour from Chania, and a beautiful sheltered beach called Marathi, east of Chania. Nantia and Kostas provided lovely food and drink to welcome us and much local information, we would love to come back again.
