Kostas' place was even better than expected. The area is very laid back. The main beach in front of the apartment is very clean and safe and sandy. it is an easy walk to many restaurants and beach bars. They are all fairly well spaced apart so this makes it a very relaxing area. There are also several supermarkets within walking distance. We walked into Chania's venetian harbour area several times and tjis took us about 40 minutes each way by going via the beach path and then through Neo Chora. Kostas' apartment is spacious, comfortable and airy. It is even nicer than it looks in the photos and was spotlessly clean. The patio area always gets a good breeze. It was nice to know Kostas and his family were next door in case we needed anything and he was very kind to provide advice on the area and gave us some delicious apples and olive oil from his own farmland. We would definitely recommend both the area and Kostas' apartment.
