We had a lovely stay at Chrisida’s and Thanasi’s place. We were greeted warmly and enthusiastically. They took care to explain everything we needed to know for our stay. And, they presented us with a welcoming gift of filo cheese pies, homemade apricot jam and a bowl of apricots from their tree.
The apartment is airy, comfortable and well equipped for a short as well as a long stay. The kitchen is complete. There is a balcony overlooking the yard/garden with a view of the sea and mountains in the distance. We had full access to the yard - with a picnic table and a hammock underneath the shade of lemon trees.
If you want to be in an authentic neighborhood close to the center of the town, this is an ideal location. It is walking distance to a beach and a Kantina. The apartment is also just off the road to the National highway which makes it ideal for exploring Western Crete. The only downside of Chrisida’s place is that it is so nice that you may be reluctant to leave.
