We were a group of four families with children - 18 in total - and Evie's Villa was absolutely perfect. Each of us had our own sparkling clean appartment which had everything we needed, and added to that a fantastic pool, loungers, communal seating areas and parking spaces. If you are a large group this place is for you!! You really don't need to go anywhere but when you do there are fantastic beaches and restaurants all around. There is a local beach and restaurant overlooking the sea just 5 mins away. If you travel 15 minutes there are even better sheltered beaches with bars and great restaurants. If you have kids then everything is child friendly. Also, the beautiful city of Chania is only 15 minutes away, with it's Venetian Harbour, restaurants, bars and boat trips it's definitely worth a visit. Last but not least the hosts - Katerina & Babis - are incredible. There really is nothing they won't do for you to make your stay the best it can possibly be. They greeted us even though our flight was delayed into the early hours, they made sure we had provisions when we arrived and they were constantly on call to book taxis, restaurants, take-aways and anything esle we wanted. Babis is amazing! He came around everyday to see us, giving us local knowledge and local tips. He appeared at restaurants and had a drink with us and by the end of the week he was everybody's best friend - including the kids! It's a cliché to say he could not do enough for us but he absolutely made our stay special. Go to Evie's you can't fail to have a great time! We are definitely going back!
