Panagiotis's apartment is exactly the same as you see it on the photos even down to the bathroom curtain. You can get a sense of what to expect for the money that you are paying. It is in a lower level of a small apartment building and you have a part of a backyard also on your disposal. The apartment is conveniently located in a quite street so it is very good for sleeping but is really close to Kalamaki beach- 2 minutes walk and you have to cross the main street. Crete has fantastic beaches and thanks to Panagiotis's tips we visited many of them, but the beach close to the apartment was great and very convenient for us as we were travelling with 5 year old child. The water is shallow, the beach is sandy, one part is with sunbeds and umbrellas and there are parts where you can put your own sun umbrella and towels. All in all just a stone throw away from the apartment. We were with a car which made it easy for us to move around the island. Chania is some 15 minutes drive and for those without car there is a public bus that goes frequently and the bus stop is 1 minute away. For those with car there is a free parking around the apartment always to be found.
But the highlight of it all are the owners of the apartment. Panagiotis and Eva are outstanding hosts and fantastic people, positive, friendly, always available. We have never had such hosts in our Airbnb travels. First there were fruits, raki, nuts, juice and candies for our son upon our arrival, then they were cleaning the room and changing sheets and towels 2 times during our stay leaving after each cleaning something for us- homemade Cretan pancakes and cakes with liquor and then homemade Cretan boureki, salad, cheese and wine. Thank you Eva for being an amazing cook and cooking all those delicious dishes for us. We enjoyed them immensely.
We spend 2 relaxing weeks in Panagiotis's apartment and we highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you Panagiotis and Eva again for everything you did for us during our stay on the fantastic and unique island of Crete.
