My father, two brothers and I had a wonderful time at Anthi's and Mina's villa. We were very warmly welcomed by Anthi who provided us with a wealth of information on the local area and region backed up by maps, brochures, lists of recommended tavernas, beaches, places to visit, shops...and some tasty homemade jams and her father's wine! The house itself is very comfortable with stunning views (the pictures don't do it full justice), a well-equipped kitchen (large fridge/freezer, lots of pots/pans, crockery, etc.), a BBQ you can take to the terrace, an open fire, comfortable beds, towels for the house and the beach, fast internet and easy parking. The village of Kokkino Chorio is quiet with a well-stocked and friendly mini-market and just 10-15 minutes drive from a number of larger villages with excellent facilities (restaurants, banks, pharmacy, ....). We visited two wonderful beaches, one of which is very child friendly while offering swimming/snorkelling for older children and adults. We also founds lots to do in the region of Chania - day drives to the south coast through rugged mountains, exploring the old town of Chania town, a cooking class.
