True hidden gem! Katrin's place is truly amazing! It is hard to describe with words what an awesome time we had there.
The place is perfectly situated to have enough peace and quiet for serenity and relaxation, while still being a 5min walk to the main Beach and 3min walk to the bus station that takes you to Chania (or somewhere else). There is a big garden with a beautiful pool where you can enjoy your sunny days when you want to have a relax from beach time (or just a quick morning or evening dip). In the garden, there is also BBQ which is free to use (and I would recommend to use it - such an amazing experience having a late night bbq there!). The apartment is spacious, very clean, well equipped with an AC in the bedroom (for those hot summer nights).
Katrin and her family are such amazing and warm people, I would recommend anyone going to Crete to stay there.
