My family and I, we had such a really relaxing and amazing time (2 weeks) in Crete. The landscape with the mountainous character and the beaches with white sand and the great view on the waves and water were breathtaking! The whole Cretan and almost Chanian atmosphere is very romantic and fascinating. You can take a walk at the Venetian harbor, have a little greek coffee with a delight in one of the cafes and the time runs slower. It is really pretty!
You have so many choices to explore Crete from Villa Armonia: You need only about 15 minutes to Chania city centre by bus, which passes from two bus stations (Nr. 15 and 21). But we preferred renting a car – it is much easier to get everywhere you want spontaneously (you have to drive like a greek :)). Our insider tip: Falassarna Beach by car (30min)! <3 Also the airport you can reach within 30min.
Whatelse?!! Knossos was very informative with a guided tour – but rather “the journey is the reward”! Kourna Lake and many many more!
Giannis - our host - arranged truly EVERYthing for us. He helped us with the car rental sevices, showed us his favorite places in Chania etc. He was really willing to make our stay the best of all.
The apartment was very sunny, featured with air-conditioning, but mainly you will be at the pool-patio (sunny till 7pm) or the beach Kalamaki :). Everything you need for three persons is in. The app is suitable for three persons – only the bathroom is a bit functional.
So far, Giannis! Thank you so much! I wish you the best for your present and your future life :)
I look forward to visit your place again – another time (maybe after my Europe trip :))
