We loved our stay in the Achilleas Suite. We were greeted by George with fresh juice and Raki for our walk through of the apartment. This place is HUGE! There was plenty of room for our family of 5. The kitchen was well appointed and has a full size fridge AND a dishwasher (anyone traveling around Europe knows what a deal that is)! The beds were comfortable and the AC worked very well. The pool was perfect for days when we didn't feel like going to the beach and was always well maintained. George was always easily available for any questions or concerns that we had during our stay.
The flat is about 20 minutes from downtown Chania, so a car is definitely preferable but there are busses running around the area that are convenient if you'd like to head into town to see the Old City and explore other beaches besides the one right down the hill from the residence. However, if you are looking for a quiet, small town experience, there is a coffee shop and grocery store within walking distance with all the basics you could need to spend your vacation enjoying the views and the nearby beach.
We loved it so much, we extended our stay for a few more days and can't wait to go back one day!
