The pictures do not lie! This is a wonderful property on a spacious secluded plot. Best of all, it is just twenty paces to the beach. The sand and sea is a bit rocky in places initially, but it is only a hundred meters or so to the smoother areas. I swam in the sea every day, which was warm (late May) and very clean. I saw a sea turtle twice! Less than 1km away is a more touristy beach with a lovely calm cove, ideal for children. Overall, we found this is a great location for our family - convenient and friendly shops, a choice of tavernas for eating out, and within easy reach of Chania for days out. Coming back to the house each evening was a delight... it was equipped with everything we needed, and was very clean and well presented throughout. We had an issue with the aircon in one bedroom, which is a new unit, but we reported this to Μανώλης - so that should be sorted. He was a perfect host - quick to respond, very courteous and flexible with our travel arrangements. Highly recommended.
