We truly loved our time on Crete and a lot of that in due part to where we stayed. Stalos is perfect location to not be stuck in hustle of chania, but still have access to all its amenities. An hour and a half to almost anything you want to do on the west half of crete. (Check out Hora Sfakion, Elafonissi beach for sunrise and falasarna for sunset)Perfect kitchen, great views, and even some kittie friends.
