Beautiful balcony in a lovely secluded place. (There is a neighboring balcony so it's not totally private.) By late October it was a bit too cold and windy to swim in the northern part of the island. I rented a car and drove to Balos, Elafonisi, the mountains... 1-2 hours away. So a good location to see the Chania region. Car is necessary but I think a car is a must to enjoy the area to its fullest anyway. The kitchen is spare, but since the building is a resort during the tourist season, the bottom floor has a restaurant, you can request whatever you need from that kitchen. Antonis is very responsive and kind. It was a lovely place to stay.
