We were collected from our very late arriving flight by Raia, Tassos's daughter, who was very nice and smiley, she kindly drove us right through Chania town so that we could see it all lit up. She was very knowledgeable and told us all about the place having grown up there.

Hotel Akasti is well located just west of Chania, very close to a bus stop and beach and easy to find. We had only two nights there but managed to see a lot of Chania town and the coastline in between which is stunning. The room was simple, clean, exactly as shown. Although the road separates the hotel from the beach and is very near, the room was pretty quiet and we slept well.
