A perfect house for a stay with family. Lots to do for the little one, ours is 1.5 year old, and she thoroughtly enjoyed the garden house, the swing, and generally exploring the house with her fluffy friends (friendly neighborhood cats). Vegetables and fruits at the backyard are free for us to pick and taste.
The nearby beach 2 mins walk away is mix of sand and granite, it is not a problem for playing, for sandy beach we drove as recommended. The town where we stayed is much less touristy than the nearby resort town, more small apartments for rent type of establishment, but still enough restaurants open for business at a rather off season (mid Oct) that are within 10 mins walk, so perfect for us for dinner with small kid. Chania town is about 30 - 40 mins drive away.
The hosts are very kind and provode us with great tip for exploring the region beyond the typical sights, for example we wanted to hike but didn’t/couldn’t do the longer trip and they suggested us to the botanic park (which is a real hike not a park for a stroll) and a nearby gorge.
Although it is already Oct, mosquitos are still plenty, not a fault of the house, but just something as a tip for future travellers to bring repellents which we forgot but managed to buy locally.
