Balcony view was breathtaking, especially in the evening with the sunset over Balos, and in the morning with the bay area in front of us pleasantly lightened by the rising sun.

Position was also great (not too far away from main road, but also in a very quiet traditional Greek village) for exploring Western Crete: Chania, Kissamos, Balos, Elafonissi, Paleochora and even Rethymnon were all easily reachable.

Close to the Studio we've also been able to find some good typical Greek tavernas: at the beach just below of it, we had some good fish; in the village of Afrata we had a tasty Cretan mean (we tried the Rabbit and Lamb), and especially in the village of Kolymbari (reachable in 10 minutes by car), which - we discovered - is a local favourite for fresh fish eating (just head to the tavernas close to the little fishermen harbour where all the locals go).
