The apartment is wonderful. Bright, clean, spacious and airy. A great balcony on the second floor, when you can sit out and stare at the sea. Better than we’d expected, and thoroughly recommended.
Check-in was easy, everything you could need is provided.
The apartment is tucked away in an area of old, partially renovated leather tanning works. It is generally very quiet, despite having two wonderful restaurants a few hundred metres away, down a slip road leading to the waterfront.
The view from the front of the apartment is amazing. The sea is meters away.
It takes 10 minutes to walk to the edge of town, where there are a few laidback bars and restaurants along the waterfront, after another ten minutes walking, you come to the old port, which is busier, lively, almost all the waterfront is lined with restaurants and activity. Ten minutes further and you will reach the old town, a maze of narrow streets with lots going on and more restaurants, of course. Generally we found the food to be excellent and the people friendly.
We hired a car for the duration of our stay and visited the various beaches and other sites away from town. However, there is a small local beach ten minutes away and Chania town beach about 30 minutes walk away.
The apartment was perfect for our little family but would also suit a couple, or perhaps two travelling together.
I was impressed with Crete and also with this apartment. Recommended.
