What a great stay we had at Eva's place! We stayed for several weeks and at some point I realised it really felt like home. A simple but cosy house in a quiet village, 10' walk from 2 great sandy beaches (one long with the open sea and nearly empty and another one, the famous beach of Zorba in a lagoon that was a great alternative when the sea was rough).
We enjoyed the beach and the beautiful clear warm sea, a nice frappe in the morning and a yummy dinner in the beach taverna in the evening, the peace and quiet of the neighbourhood, eating al fresco in the evenings at home, having a grill every now and then - I can go on! This place is perfect if you want to disconnect, enjoy the nature but it is also close enough to Chania if you fancy a night out.
The village has 2 mini-markets nearby where you can buy pretty much anything you need apart from fresh meat/fish, which you can buy in a town about 15' drive from the house, so there is really no issue with food if you have a car. Also the smaller beach has a choice of several tavernas serving great food, so you will definitely not go hungry!
Try out Sunset taverna for a Greek/French/Arabic cuisine and enjoy a beautiful sunset on the beach.
Persa was always very quick to reply to any questions or issues we had, always accommodating, recommending a doctor when we needed one, fixing the AC when it broke etc. We really couldn't have asked for better hospitality, thank you Persa!
And of course, the neighbour Panagiotis, who took care of our garden, deserves a special mention - he was always available whenever we needed a hand with something, always friendly, willing to go the extra mile - the epitome of Greek hospitality!
Overall, we found that the house was great value for money and we are already missing our stay in Stavros!
