We had a wonderful stay at Doron's house in Plaka. The view is stunning and the pool is always inviting. The short walk to the Plaka town center is pleasant and the town square is everything you hope for in a small mountain village. It was easy to walk down the hill into the village to go to restaurants, shopping, or the beach (about 20 minutes). The walk back up the hill is difficult in hot weather. Chania is about a 35 minute drive and highly recommended for dining, shopping, and tours. The house was very clean and the furniture is comfortable. The kitchen is fairly well-stocked. There was no cold or cool water during our stay due to a heatwave, so very hot showers were the only option. Luckily the air conditioning works very well. I recommend this house for anyone looking for a peaceful comfortable stay with an excellent view.
