Giannis' house worked very well for us (2 adults, 3 adult children). We loved the open plan downstairs space with plenty of seating and an extendable dining table. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. The fitness room is also great. The outside space was lovely - it had lemon trees and vines and another big dining table plus other garden chairs and tables dotted about. Upstairs also worked really well with comfortable bedrooms and a great wrap-around balcony, again with plenty of chairs and tables. But best of all were the beautiful balcony views to both the sea and the snow-covered mountains. The location is ideal. It's a short walk to the beach and with local tavernas and supermarkets, it's easy to have a beach holiday and forget about the car. But Chania is within easy reach (about 20-25 minutes' drive) and we had a few day trips out to local places of interest. For hikers, there are some great local walks. Giannis is a really friendly and helpful host and he gave us plenty of useful local tips. We recommend his house very highly.
