super close 5 min walk to nice sandy beach, shops and restaurants. we didn't rent a car and went from Chania by taxi but continued our Journey by bus. We took a taxi from the taxi station which is near the appartment to the next town which is bigger and has buses more frequently to go to Rethymno. So it is possible also without car. The view is unbeatable and the kitchen is well equipped and generally it is very homey, cosy and clean. Checkin super easy you can just arrive and the key will be in your door. You can ask for extra beach towels. The view is unbeatable, book it now! :)
