Maria hosts a very nice and new apartment in Kalamaki.
Maria is a very hospitable host, who delivers delicious surprises to her guests. Communication with her happens through the app, or just using gestures, as she is not communicating in English.
Everything worked very well in the apartment during our visit. It was spotless on arrival. Our group consisted of 3 people, and a fourth person would have been OK as well. A dear friend and local Cretan complimented the apartment when he visited us briefly.
The apartment is located just a few minutes walk from Kalamaki beach in mid-south Crete. It takes about 2.5-3 hours to drive from Chania by winding roads. The beach in Kalamaki was a little bit of a disappointment, with hard winds, heavy sea, and rocks that you were smashed in to. Some of the other nearby beaches are worth a try. We went to iconic Mátala (15 mins. by car), and beautiful and secluded Agios Georgios (45 mins., near Agia Galini).
Overall, a nice stay in a peaceful location and a very well equipped and cozy apartment. Beds were not the most comfortable to our taste.
