I stayed here with 3 friends and it was simply an amazing experience. From the beginning the communication was great; and quick. We were greated by Despoina‘s sister Margarita (who was available for help throughout our trip) upon arrival, with which they were thankfuly very flexible with. It was such a warm welcome and we ended up chatting for about an hour, where Margarita gave us all sorts of suggestions on what to do in the area.
The apartment was spotless clean and they even provided us with a bowl of fruit, a homemade cake, and breakfast for the first morning. This allowed us to easy into the holiday.
The area this apartment is located in was also perfect for us. Chania was only a short taxi ride away, the local beach was a nice quick getaway and there is a small restaurant right next the apartment that serves authentic greek food.
Our preferred beach was however in Agia Maria (about 10 min by car) where there were also beach clubs close by. Clubs and bars are mostly all in Platanias (the next town) where plenty of tourists go for a night out.
I would highly suggest to have a rental car (free parking right next to the apartment available) so you can easily get around Crete and to the amazing beaches that are scattered around the island.
With this apartment and these hosts, you will most definitely have a great time here.
