Smart Apartment, Beautiful Views, and Screens!
Sia is a lovely host who showed us around her lovely apartment, left us lots of delicious goodies, and made us gifts to take home with us.
The apartment is clean, big, and so smart. We've traveled a lot in Europe and wondered why people don't use screens on the windows - but Sia does! This allowed us to let the beautiful breeze that was blowing at this perch up high with fabulous views. There is also a roof deck with 360° views of the Sea of Crete, the mountains, and stunning sunsets.
Sia also has automated blackout shades on many of the windows so you can block out the early morning sun.
You'll want a car to be able to stay up this high and there is parking right on the property. There are multiple lovely beaches to choose from just minutes away with lots of parking, WCs, changing booths and cafés.
Chania's Old Town, which is only about a 10 minute drive away, was one of the highlights of our trip. It's full of beautiful buildings that are being rehabbed after Crete was decimated in WWII. One of our favorite restaurants in Old Town was The Well of Turks. We also loved Deva for unique jewelry.
Also near the apartment are 2 supermarkets and lots of great restaurants. We particularly loved Fillipo's which is just near the Syka and Lidl stores.
We had a great experience at Sia's and would definitely stay there again.
