Chania is a beautiful place to visit on the island of Crete and Manolis place is close to the waterfront. We give this home 5 stars for several reasons... We were within walking distance of the beach, beautiful waterfront boardwalk, bakeries, grocery store, restaurants and really enjoyed the area. The home is very beautiful with stylish and comfortable decor. We enjoyed cooking some of our own meals in the well supplied kitchen and also enjoyed the treats our host gave us - especially the oranges from his own garden and the special Greek Christmas treats. The area is quiet and we slept well in the very comfortable beds. A great place to visit is Balos lagoon - absolutely beautiful! Manolis was an amazing host!!! Very gracious and kind. He gave us tips on places to visit and eat in the area. We were able to park our rental car directly in front of the house. But the most appreciated and amazing thing was that when our flight to Crete was extremely delayed due to bad weather and we didn’t arrive until very late into the night Manolis graciously and kindly waited at the house to welcome us. He took time to explain things to us and was very kind and helpful despite the very late hour. I highly recommend staying here because it is a wonderful home and has a host who truly cares about his guests!
