Nanita’s place is a fantastic base to see Chania and Western Crete from. The apartment is beautiful with a good space to sit outside. The apartment was very clean with spare towels for the beach and beach chairs and umbrella to borrow. Nanita was great at answering questions before we arrived and recommended a car hire place. The fridge had lovely local food in and there were lots of maps and recommendations of local places to see. The beach is really close and a lovely small sandy beach, great for the kids. If you want to drive to some of Crete’s more famous beaches it’s close to the main roads. It’s best to have a car to drive into Chania, it’s a 15 min drive to the old town. So much better than a big tourist block and Nanita is a great host.
