This place is in a nice rural location, surrounded by olive trees and run by a nice family. We were welcomed by Spiros, the brother of Smaragdi, and our oldest daughter described him as the friendliest person she had ever met.
Some people rent a car but we found it better to be on foot and get some well needed physical exercise.
About 1.3 km to the north is a nice sandy beach, Lena Beach. 950 meters to the south, you find the main road with buses to the center of Chania. They pass every 30 min at about 25 and 55 minutes past the hour. If you buy the tickets from the driver, they are Euro 2,50. If you buy them from the ticket boots in the city, they are 1,50 euro. The bus stop is across the street from the restaurant Road House.
We stayed for 2 weeks and the second day we walked to Lidl to get supplies. It is situated midway to the city center, about 4,7 km and a 1 hour walk. We stopped at a couple of street restaurants to get some cold drinks, because the weather was warm. The taxi back was 12 euro, and it was easy to get by calling Hermes Taxi Services +30 28210 98700.
The pool behind the premises is very nice and clean, and we used it a lot, also when we got back from the beach.
