This is a quiet and quaint place away from the horrors of package trip tourist hotels, but close enough to all amenities, as well as to the beach. You do need a car to stay here, but as long as you have one, you will have an amazing time. This is a great location both to unwind, to have easy access to nightlife and restaurants, and to explore western Crete by car. Would highly recommend staying here. Tonya, who welcomed us, is very hospitable and friendly and made our stay great. She and family live on the premises, so you have a warm personal touch. The facilities are clean and cosy, and the pool area is very nice for some evening time after the beach. The place can be a little bit hard to find, so put in Studios Kydonia into Google Maps and you will get right there. Warmly recommended, and the value was great.
