Giannis gave us a nice welcome with fruit, wine and local products. He also brought us later in our long stay some vegies from his garden. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning kept the place very cool despite the heat outside! We had our first ever serious health issue in Chania and my husband spent most of the trip in hospital and a clinic. Giannis kindly came and visited us in hospital and helped me to speak to the doctor. This stressful situation also caused me to lock myself out. He organized to get us back in the apartment incredibly quickly considering it was Sunday afternoon when nothing was open. Giannis and his family are friendly hosts and the apartment really does have a spectacular view! It is quiet and a short walk to the town centre along the beachfront. We swam a lot in the little beach down the road. The sand wasn't so lovely but the water was clean. Plenty of little rocky areas further out for beginner snorkelers and a lovely shallow sandy section where the kids could play. If you want to have a holiday in Chania I would highly recommend Giannis' place.
