I stayed here with my family, and it was our first experience staying in the island of Crete. There is much to see, and the location of Giorgos' house is a fantastic place to venture out and explore. It is quiet yet locally there is great access to big supermarkets, local cafés and restaurants within walking distance. It is around 10-15 minute drive or taxi trip to Chania (taxis cost between €10-15 to get there) which was more than manageable for us. There are also beaches less than a 10-minute drive away (although if you want to venture further out, the beautiful Elafonisi lagoon beach is about an hour and a half away but well worth the drive!)
The house itself is perfect, there was everything we needed just waiting for us. It is clean and well-equipped, and the space was more than adequate for the four of us. The patio terrace at the back of the house has a view fit for the Greek Gods! Whichever meal you choose, you can dine with an expansive view of the sea and mountains and we made as much use of it as we could. The pool area was lovely to relax around and provided refreshing relief from the sun!
Giorgos and his mother made an already lovely stay even better with their amazing hospitality. Check-in and check-out was smooth, they ensured that our stay was going well throughout our time there, and best of all was the delicious food Giorgos' mother made for us! We had pastries and desserts given to us throughout our stay on top of the wine and fresh fruit that greeted us when we arrived. They had also left an excellently prepared folder of recommendations from which we found our favourite beach.
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay - thank you!
