The apartment is amazing. It’s so clean , beautiful and welcoming. Thrasyvoulos is an incredible host who goes above and beyond for his guests. The pictures are exactly what you’ll experience when you walk in. One of the most comfortable places we stayed. Everything you could need and nice touches from the host to welcome us. It’s located in the perfect spot to walk to many of the best restaurants and there is beach access through the town. There is a large hill to walk up to get to the apartment but it’s good to burn off all the gyros you’ve eaten in town. I was impressed with the hospitality and kindness of our host as well as of the town and felt safe at all times of the day. It’s located about an hour drive from some of the best beaches in the world so car rental is needed. many rental companies in town to choose from. I believe there is a bus as well that can take you there. It’s also about 20 min from Old Town Chania where the port is. 35 min from the airport (about 40 euro by taxi & buses seemed to run at all hours for travellers to) The cars rentals are manual transmission only and theres a convenient and safe parking lot close to the apartment. You can also rent the cars in town and drop them off at the airport but ask for the specific parking lot as it was tricky for us to find even though it’s a small airport. There are lots of markets near by as well to purchase your own food to make yourself. If you can drive or walk just a little further out of the town to go where the locals shop for better deals! Just a tip we learned the hard way- Ferry’s to other Greek islands leave from a town called Heraklion 2 hrs away by car and a little longer by bus. Book your ferries first if you are staying in Chania because they leave at the crack of dawn and it’s best to stay in Heraklion and then travel to Chania after and vice versa!
Overall, book this apartment! It’s so worth it! You’ll have the best time!
