Maria is a smiling angel always ready to help with anything. Everything in the apartment or in the complex was nice, clean, and overall we really enjoyed staying at this place :)
Chania is basically 5 minutes from here, and it's also a good starting point to visit the most famous beaches (we were on Balos, Falasarna, Elafonisi, and Preveli - all of them within 1,5h range by car).
You definitely need to rent a car for this accommodation, but I think it's more of a plus because Crete offers a lot of very nice places to visit, would be a shame to sit just on one beach :)
