Our stay at Maria's was excellent! Even though our flight was delayed and we arrived very late at night, we were still unexpectedly greeted with a homecooked meal (!!) and Cretan goodies. The apartment was exactly like the pictures, spotlessly clean and right by the sea, with a balcony that adjoins the bedrooms and is shielded from the midday sun. The beds were also soooo comfortable!
We really enjoyed the location; there were smaller shops right on the doorstep and also a Lidl supermarket about a 15 minute walk away (with amazing views of the mountains.) You're also just a short drive away from Chania's Old Town and a great base for exploring further afield, such as the Botanical Gardens and Crete's most spectacular beaches like Elafonissi and Balos.
Maria's extensive recommendations before we arrived were excellent too, especially for food! Salavantes, about a 5-minute walk from the AirBnB, was delicious with the friendliest staff, and we also stuffed our faces with bougatsa pastries in the Old Town.
We definitely hope to visit again in the future!
