We were made to feel very welcome and all the people or staff at Elea Apartments were very friendly and helpful. The description of the site and photos of it were accurate and presented an honest preview. The apartment complex is a little like a secluded oasis among the surrounding houses/properties with the pool in the middle and surrounded by trees. The accommodation is comfortable and the site is just a few minutes' walk from some beautiful coves and beaches. There are supermarkets, local shops and restaurants within walking distance and all in all it is an almost ideal holiday location with good and easy access to Chania town. We also rented a car so we could visit other parts of Crete and Elea was a great base for us. It was a little early in the season but other families with children staying at the site helped occupy and entertain my daughter, and though some local places were still preparing for the season, we found enough that were open to cater for our tastes. The weather was also generally good during our stay and overall we had a very enjoyable stay.
