I’ve been traveling the world solo for over 3 years and can honestly say that experiences like I had while staying at Panagiotis’ apartment in Tabakaria are why I continue to travel. The apartment, the neighborhood, the city, the island, the people, and – above all – the hosts (now friends) made my first trip to Greece an experience beyond anything I could have imagined and one I will never forget.
From the first communication and throughout my long stay, Panagiotis was quick to respond, polite, enthusiastic, generous, and in every way an exceptional host! Tabakaria is uniquely charming, and the neighbors are friendly and welcoming. It’s within easy walking distance of the Venetian harbor, central Chania, grocers, farmers’ markets, restaurants, shops, & cultural sites. The lack of crowds, mild weather, and relaxed, local feel make winter a great time to visit Chania.
I learned so much and had such a rich, meaningful experience of Crete all because I chose THIS place to stay.
