Mamangakis Apartments a great Base to explore this area of Crete. We had a warm welcome from Mama Costa even though our flight was delayed after midnight. The apartment was clean and cool with aircon, a good open space, with four good beds.
The amazing garden overlooking blue seas and a view across the bay to the old town.
Some good local tavernas close by, local supermarket within walking distance and a large Lidl a short drive away from town.
Good road links to Chania town / airport 1hr. Heraklion town / airport 1hr, along the main island highway. Parking at night a bit of a lottery, but always found a spot within a five minute walk.
South coast 1hr across mountains, well worth the trip, views amazing.
For a unforgettable day check out Notos Sailing from Chania with Nikos.
All in all a fantastic spot to stay. Quite from town hustle but near enough to walk to if you want it.
Costa was a great host, on tap when needed. He and his family have a gem in this part of Crete. Highly recommended.
