If you need a place to stay in Crete, I implore of you to stay at Theodosia Studios. Theodosia was the best host I have ever had and the reason why my trip to Crete was so fantastic. Her studios are beautiful, with a gorgeous view of the mountains and a sea of the deepest blues. It really felt magical and I honestly would not have minded never leaving my patio deck and soaking in the view 24/7. But if you're looking for things to do, this location is prime. You're close to Chania airport, you're a short walk (and it's a very nice walk, with flowers blooming all along the road) to Kalathas Beach (such a pretty beach!), and you're close to Chania town (where there are many more beaches). My friend and I found the bus to Chania very convenient and easy to figure out and we loved the food, sights and beauty of the town. The bus system in Crete is great and there are bus stops close to the studios so it's also super manageable to get to farther away places, like Elafonisi or Seitan Limania, during tourist season. The Airbnb itself is so cute and well decorated, clean, and even packed with snacks and water. Theodosia herself is the most accommodating host I have ever had. I travel a lot and stay in a ton of Airbnbs and she is the best host I have met. She is generous, kind and enormously helpful, filled with endless tips on what to see and how to get there. Communication with her was excellent: she had such fast responses. She even picked us up from and dropped us off at the airport; that's how great she is. Seriously, please please please book this Airbnb if you're going to Crete. It'll change your vacation experience for the better and you won't regret it.
