We started our trip in Chania - and stayed 5 nights at the Stone House. By the end, we didn't want to leave. We arrived from Athen at 11 pm and Giorgos graciously met us at the airport - to escort us to the Stone House. He helped us connect with our Rental Car service too. No worries finding our house in the dark! The Stone House was a great base to explore Western Crete - easily accessible to Chania, the National Road that takes you to all the wonderful southern and western beaches, and just 10 min from the most amazing monasteries: Agia Triada, Gouverneto and Katholiko. Stavros Bay perfect for late afternoon swim, again a short distance away from the house. The home was modern with all the conveniences: well-equipped kitchen (to take a break from eating out all the time, fun to visit local markets), comfortable bed and sofa bed, washer, scenic porch to watch sunsets,tv, a/c and wifi. Giorgos provides all the exceptional details to enhance your stay: natural sponges, espresso machine, eggs for first morning breakfast plus jam & toast, lovely sweet bread, even a few beers to ease the long travel to Crete from US. Appreciated the quiet neighborhood - a difference from the noise/bustle (and heat) of Old Town Hania. Cicadas and goat bells - were much preferred for our vacation! And space for family to not be on top of each other (me and two young adult kids). After the Samaria Gorge hike, Giorgos shared a typical Cretan dish with us. Wonderful to do laundry to wash dust off clothes and ready for second part of the trip. Any question we had, Giorgos quickly responded. Now in a hotel in Rethymnon, but missing the space and quiet of the Stone House.
