Alexandros's house is in a stunning location, with beautiful views of countryside and mountains from the terrace/pool area.
It is very secluded and quiet (apart from the sound of crickets and sheep bells, which we loved) and a short walk to the village with shop, taverna, etc.
The nearest beach is 5 mins drive away and is good if you don't want a long drive. Alexandros suggested other beaches further afield which were lovely. Chania is great to visit too. All in all, a really lovely place to stay.
