Best kept secret: I am hesitant to say too much about the Agora Suite as it’s one of Chania’s best kept secrets and I’d like to keep it that way! My husband and I are in our late 40s/early 50s and are fussy travellers when it comes to holiday accommodation. We stumbled on the Agora Suite by chance, not having used Airbnb before and as the images of the apartment looked so nice and it’s had many great reviews, we decided to give it a try on our second visit to Chania.

Booking: the care we received from Vagelis and his family before & during our stay was extremely professional and very friendly. He replied to my many questions immediately and also offered good advice regarding restaurants and things to do/see during our visit. He also arranged both our taxi transfers for us.

The apartment: it’s just as gorgeous as it seems in the photos. Spotlessly clean and with all the ‘hotel like' amenities one would wish for on holiday. The wifi was great, the bed very comfortable, super linens & towels, very well-equipped kitchen and plenty of hot water. The apartment is very spacious and has an amazing little balcony overlooking the central market. Although the location is in the lively old town with restaurants all around, the apartment has good double glazing and is totally quiet. We slept very well! I could carry on, but as I said, I’d rather keep this amazing secret to myself!!

We had an amazing stay and we look forward to returning - next time we’ll book for longer instead of just 4 days!
