Lovely, comfortable and clean apartment just off the tourist strip of Platanias, with access to countless restaurants and shops, supermarkets and tour operators. It's about 2 minutes walk from the beach where you can find beach front restaurants, cafes and sun loungers with parasols.
Babis (Olga's son) checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, leaving us fresh towels and even lending us a parasol for shade on the beach and a beach bat and ball.
When our inward flight was delayed he was there to meet us at around 1am with a smile on his face, to welcome us with a complementary bottle of wine - lovely touch.
We had a hire car and used the apartment as a base to explore some of the lovely beaches on the west of the island (Falassarna, Elafonisi, Balos).
Also highly recommend going into Chania Old town. Very beautiful and a great atmosphere.
Platanias is also well placed for trip to Samaria Gorge.
Thanks Babis - we had a great time and enjoyed the apartment
