As two couples touring Crete we found renting both Kito and Skiff perfect for our stay in the Chania area. We left the car and walked into town which was straightforward. We also ate locally within Halepa - there are a few good restaurants nearby.
We ventured into the sea in front of the house a few times on calmer days. (As said before, you need water shoes)
Aggeliki and Tammy were great with communication. Really easy to contact. Arrival and departure process faultless.
We would happily stay again and loved the sound of the waves to fall asleep too.
