Katerina’s place had a breathtaking view and was incredibly clean. We both had a perfect impromptu getaway in Crete as a result. She went the extra mile to make our stay special.
We were able to catch a bus from just opposite the house easily. The buses ran to Chania, the airport and the incredible Seitan Lemania beach (which is breathtaking). From Chania, there were buses to all the other major beaches, cities and Samaria gorge.
Regarding the food, we were slightly disappointed with the options available in Chania but we may have just missed the right spots! The shops up the road had everything you needed for snacks and simple meals, so eating wasn’t a problem. We would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay to explore the West of Crete.
