Our stay at Erodios villas was perfect, especially as the other villa was not occupied and so we had the pool and beautiful gardens and outside areas to ourselves. Ανθουλα and her parents were perfect hosts and met us on arrival, they could not do enough for us and left us gifts of pastries and supplies of water and fresh olive oil not to mention fresh oranges for squeezing from the tree outside. Ανθουλα's father came every morning to water the plants and look after the pool and he brought us fresh eggs and Ανθουλα and her mum came to clean the villa and change the bedding once during our stay and made sure we had everything we needed and told us about local attractions to visit. The villa and its gardens are beautiful; it is set back from the main road so still feels very private and secure. It is within walking distance of the beach and nearby Platanias with many eateries, shops and bars. We hired a car but there is a bus-stop very near to the villa with a good, regular bus service to Chania (well worth a visit to the old venetian harbour). We would love to come back next year and hopefully hire both villas with family; the garden has beautiful flowers and fruit trees which Ανθουλα welcomed us to pick and eat and there is a fabulous barbecue area at the rear of the property.
