We had a wonderful stay at Margarita's inn. The apartment was spacious, (very) clean, and had a large, private balcony with a tremendous view of Souda Bay. Margarita and her staff (and family) were extremely welcoming and ensured that we had all that we needed for a great stay.

The apartment is a short (but steep) walk away from a secluded beach. The water is clear and nice for a quick swim. That being said, you shouldn't plan to spend significant time here - be sure to rent a car in order to reach other parts of the island.

While the apartments aren't in Chania proper, it is very easy to catch a bus from just outside the parking lot to downtown Chania for just 3 euros. It only takes about 20 minutes. The bus service ends at 11:30 pm, so depending on how late you stay you may have to take a taxi back to the apartments which will cost around 20 euros.

Chania itself has some excellent places to eat (Try Portes! The gavros are out of this world), but don't miss out on the Margarita's family-run restaurant. It serves organic food from her own farm (be sure to try the lamb!) and is extremely delicious and affordable.

We would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Margarita!
