Dimitris' daughter Stavroula was waiting for us at their shop downstairs to show us around the apartment when we arrived. She explained everything very clearly and gave us some tips for food, drinks and supermarkets.
The loft and its location are just fantastic: in the middle of the old town in a very narrow and lively street next to the cathedral. The apartment is very homely, clean, spacious and well-equiped with all the necessities. From the balcony you have a great view into the street and the terrace is great for breakfast or dinner too! Upon our arrival there was cheese, olives, wine, raki, olive oil and honey on the table. And this warm welcome was just the start of a great stay in Chania!
During our four-day stay in Chania we got to know Dimitris and his family quite close and as very positive and welcoming people: Dimitris' son Marco showing us where we could find restaurants; Catharina (girlfriend of Marco) who works in the shop downstairs was always in for a chat and gave us one of the best restaurant tips (my favorite: Colombo; literally across the street from the loft but with GREAT food and rose) and beaches; and ofcourse Dimitris himself: we were invited to celebrate Greek Easter in their village with the whole family! Dimitris even helped us with changing the tire of our car after we drove over a nail :)
The stay at Dimitris' loft was really an experience to never forget!!
