This is a special place. Firstly, the best Airbnb hosts I have encountered, they genuinely want you to have a great holiday. Maria even drove us to the supermarket on our first day so we could stock up. The view is amazing, and the spacious patio makes it easy to enjoy it. The sea directly outside is very rocky and uneven underfoot, but once in, the water is warm and clear -warmer than the destination beaches on the west coast such as Falasarna and Elafonisi. Both of these are worth seeing but massively busy so get there before 10am if you want a sunbed and some time to yourself. The house is super comfortable, very compact (just one toilet) but space well utilised and loads of storage upstairs. Aircon in every room. Every kitchen gadget and utensil you can think of makes self-catering very easy. Three or four decent restaurants in walking distance for when you chose not to go into Chania town – bus stop very close. Salavantes was our favourite local, turn left and walk for about 8 mins. The road outside is fairly busy but you don’t hear much when you are sat listening to those magical waves. We spent two wonderful weeks in this gorgeous spot and were sad to leave.
