We just spent three weeks with our two young children 5 and 7 at Afroditi and Nikkos home. They have been the best hosts you could ask for. Very responsive and always there to help and answer questions.
On arrival they welcomed us with some lovely treats, wine, cold water and fresh fruits. They also came and cleaned the house and changed the sheets and towels at the end of each week.
The position was perfect for us. Situated at the end of a small road on the edge of the olive trees. Views of the ocean and incredible views of the sunset every night.
The house itself was the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in a few now. The beds are great quality and the sheets were very clean, lovely smelling and as good, if not better than any hotel. Televisions in every bedroom and living room. We even connected our own Netflix account to their smart tv.
The outdoor space was perfect also. Three different balconies which were great and very private. You could use each for different parts of the day.
One of the things we loved was the outdoor hot and cold shower. Especially coming home from the beach with the kids and taking the sand off outside was very convient.
The kitchen is well equipped and I had more intentions to cook from home but once we found a few lovely restaurants in Chania and around the home we started to eat out more. But if you wish to cook from home you have everything you need.
We did have a car which is necessary in my opinion to visit Crete. We visited Balos, falarsana and Elafonisi beach. Check the weather on météo.gr before you go though. Yes the weather is hot but if the winds are high on these beaches it’s not such a great day. We had 55km winds one day and it was not enjoyable. The last week we spent most of our beach days just in front of the house at the golden beach just 5 min walk from the house. You can hire 2 chairs and umbrella for 6 Euro in total. The water is clear and shallow, small waves which was perfect for the kids after travelling around so much before. Nice breeze and very relaxing if you want to have a day not too far from your home.
In general we really found the people very friendly and welcoming in Crete, especially Afroditi and Nikkos into their beautiful home. It truly felt like a home away from home.
