What a lovely apartment - better than the photos! The apartment is modern, well equipped, spacious and with a fantastic sun terrace, having a lovely view of the mountains - great for breakfast and eating alfresco in the evening. The apartment is well located - on the outskirts of Chania and very well connected if you want to travel further afield. We had a car and it was so easy to reach other parts of the island. It's an easy drive into Chania but parking in the evening can be tricky, although not impossible! We generally took the bus to get in to the Old Town, which we did most evenings, and took taxis back to the apartment. You can walk into town but the bus is so much easier and right on your door step! Chania is a great place to visit in the evening - the old harbour with the surrounding bars and restaurants is buzzing and delightful. There are many beautiful beaches close by and our host, Manos had many good local tips. The closest beach is less than 10 minutes walk from the apartment and is sandy and undeveloped. We would drive to the next beach (less than 10 minute drive) which was a bit more organised with a couple of bars and beds/parasols and is a good family beach. Which brings us to Manos! Manos is a truly outstanding host. He was very flexible with our arrival and departure times (our flight times changed with Covid) and nothing was too much trouble. Manos is extremely generous and kind - he is there if you need him but will leave you to it if everything is fine. For us, we had no issues or problems and would hear from Manos whenever we had fresh towels or bedding, which was plentiful. Communication was second to none throughout, but equally we were left to enjoy the apartment and surroundings without intrusion. We cannot recommend the apartment highly enough! And we have fallen in love with Crete! For sure, we will return! Thank you Manos for a fantastic holiday!
