The stay in the cosy loft of Nicos was just great.
Check in went really smooth – even switching our arrival time shortly before arrival as we did not know exactly how long our journey to Chania would take, was no big deal at all.
The flat itself offers enough space for 4-6 persons. As a family of 4 we had enough space for the kids and for us. Two bathrooms offer additional comfort during the stay. The kitchen is nicely equipped with everything you may need during the stay. The washing machine was a real plus for us washing out the ice cream spots from the kids clothes. 😂👊🏼💥🚀
There is another apartment next door. Using both apartments would even provide room for larger groups. We shared the garden with a very kind couple from the UK who stayed next door. An old lady in the house showed us some special fruits in the garden and explained with hands and feet how to eat them. All of these encounters made our stay in the loft really special and unique.
The location of the loft is just a few streets away from the old town. It is located in a small and silent street with windows and terrace behind the house so we basically did not hear any noises from traffic.
In the old town check out the smaller alleys at night. Here we found the best places to eat – just around the corner from the packed tourist spots. With the kids we also enjoyed a touristy boat ride around the harbor with a short snorkeling stop. If there is time, try to get to Elafonissi beach. Although it is quite touristy as well it is definitely worth a visit. The crystal clear blue waters are awesome for snorkeling and the team is taking care of a clean beach.
All in all, it was great visiting Chania and staying in the loft of Nicos. Thumbs up for this unique home and its surroundings. 👍🏽
