The place is truly wonderful, as are the hosts Georgios and Elena.
As you can see on the pictures, the beach is right outside, including a small bar/restaurant where you can have a drink or eat something. Besides the bar owned by a French lady, the beach is very quiet, especially compared to the other Stavros beach (5 min away). This, on top of the fact that Chania is about 15 minutes away by car, makes for the perfect combination between peace and quiet on one hand, and a vibrant city on the other hand.
Besides the Stavros (beach) and Chania, there are lots of other things to do in the area. There's the hills for hiking, lots of beautiful monastries and other beaches (e.g. Seitan Limania). We did a hike starting from Gouverneto Monastry to Katholiko Monastry and beach, which is something I would definetly recommend.
Finally, Georgios and Eleni were the perfect hosts. They explained everything thoroughly and gave tips on what to do and where to go (they even looked up and called a boat rental company for us). They also left local products such as raki, homemade jam, etc.
In conclusion: the perfect place and a definite recommendation. We'll be coming back!
