We had a great stay at Ioannis' place. It is on top of a small hill with many olive trees around it. We enjoyed every morning the great view during breakfast! And at night you can listen to the nature.
The beach is very close, around 6 min by car. Chania is also not very far away and it is also easy to get on the highway and go anywhere you want.
Ioannis has already many good recommendations for the west of crete.
We would love to stay at Ioannis again.
