Eleftherios' place is a gem!
My girlfriend and I spent 10 days in Aptera and were glad we chose the place.
It is nested on top of a beautiful hill that overlooks both the White Mountains and the sea. We enjoyed lazy mornings on the terrasse (every single day, a highlight of our stay), it is sunny in the mornings and shaded at lunch. And obviously, the sunsets were gorgeous!
On top of the views, we could observe a vibrant fauna: falcons, hawks, goats, and lizards were frequent visitors!
Regarding the location, we appreciated being a bit away from the rush of Chania.
From there it was still very easy to get downtown (20min drive) or to the different attractions of the area.
Finally, Eleftherios is a very nice host: always willing to help and give you the best possible experience.
