Antonis is the god of Airbnb hosts. He will be a difficult act to follow. He and his family were extremely welcoming and friendly. Antonis was always available to answer any questions that we had and eager to help us in anyway possible. He was keen for us to have a lovely time in Crete. He is very knowledgeable about the local attractions and the best places to eat. There is no rating on here to truly reflect what an amazing host he was. It was an honor to meet him and stay in his company. Thank you so much!!
A little bit about the air Bnb:
-it is very well equipped, there is even an electric kettle and nescafe coffee machine!
- it is a studio holiday cottage, 3 minutes drive from chania airport, you will need a car, the location is in a village (unless you are fit enough to walk it in the heat it is possible...)
- Antonis is great! funny, warm and hospitable, as are his parents.
-You will have access to the lovely garden / court yard shared with Antonis's parents Dimitry and Katerina, they live in a bungalow next door.
- you will experience Cretan living!
- It is a very good location to explore the area, the surrounding beaches are very scenic with mountain backdrop and not crowded
- We loved our 'home away from home' so much that when we ventured into Chania Town it felt so crowded and unnatural haha
- if you are into plane spotting this is located on the flight path, you may also spot military jets doing training which is interesting. You can hear the planes but it didn't bother us since they don't fly during sleeping hours and we were out during the day.
- if you must go by public transport, it is theorectically possible to get to chania town by airport bus , which stops on the main road around the corner from the house, near the grill restaurant 'four pigs' it cost €2.50 and goes every half hour
- do not come here if you want air con and nearby amenities
- we highly recommend staying here, you will have a truly memorable authentic Crete island stay!
