Giannis is a great host. The place is as advertised. Really clean, with large kitchen and living area. The pool is lovely and we enjoyed using it daily. Giannis was very responsive and welcomed us with a bottle of wine, cheese and bread. He also cleaned the place twice during our 11 nights stay and left us freshly picked grapes each time!
The location is good - about 40 mins from Chania airport. There are good restaurants at a walkable distance as well as grocery stores. Supermarkets are relatively nearby by car.
A car is a must and the villa is a good base to explore Crete - we went to beaches ranging from 20 mins to 1h30 mins away.
A day trip to Chania old town is highly recommended - it’s beautiful. Also recommend Lake Kournas - beautiful location, terrapins to be spotted and a great spot for lunch. The botanical gardens are also worth a visit.
Overall this was a great stay. Thanks again Giannis.
