We stayed in Elea in Aug 2013. The place is in a quiet part of Chania next to an Olive tree grove, very close to the beach. The atmosphere is very quiet and relaxed, the garden and the pool are beautiful. The apartments are nicely furnished and clean. We felt at home with the place and it's friendly staff very quickly.
We have 2 young girls (9,5) which loved the idea that everywhere you go there are areas for kids to play in, there is one in front of the supermarket Inka with bowling, little kids' go-carts and more.
I warmly recommend the place and the surrounding area .
