We stayed at the start of May. Two adults with a 2 year old and a 4 year old. I have travelled to Crete before, but I stayed much more centrally near the airport. This is about an hour from Chania airport in the car.
I really can’t recommend this place to stay enough. It has a lot going for it which other beach front property cannot provide. There is a lot of space, and three proper sized bedrooms. Realistically this is ideal for 4 adults and 2 children, or anything less than that. It has very modern air conditioning in every room and two bathrooms that both have lovely showers in. There is dining room inside and out for 6, with a proper cooker and oven to make meals. The fridge freezer is full size, just like at home. There are supermarkets within a minutes walk of the apartment, along with car rental. All the local eating places are walkable and we found all of them to be very pleasant. We were slightly out of season, so I think it may get more lively later in the year, but it suited us with the kids.
Marios was nothing but helpful the whole time. His communication was great and he genuinely wanted our stay to be perfect.
I can’t stress enough that you are right next to the loveliest little beach. It might not be on the top 100 list, but it is small, with free sun beds. I’ve spent whole holidays looking for beaches that meet that criteria. Due to the nature of the Kissamos cove, there is virtually no waves on a clear day, perfect for snorkelling or water sports. However, if you do want a ‘Top 10 beaches in the world’ beach, then travel 45 minutes to Elafonisi and you won’t be disappointed.
If we come back to Crete, we will definitely stay here again as it was perfect for us. If you want the hotel over the beach, the. This won’t be for you. It’s a house amongst the locals. But if you don’t mind that and you want to be close to the beach with more space than a hotel, then this is for you.
