The queen of questionable luck here. I got sick the day before vacation. However, arriving at Katiana and Pantelis’ place made me feel like a million bucks. Pantelis greeted me at the door and gave me a tour of the place, dealing wonderfully with my grumpy mood. Katiana showed up with platters of fruit and snacks. I can’t even express how grateful I was for this because the idea of trekking to the nearest grocery while sick... yeah, I would have probably cried. And Katiana even offered to make a trip to the pharmacy for me! They were both so warm and welcoming.
The apartment was furnished beautifully and it was impeccably clean. It was just a short walk to the beach, to old town Chania and to all of the restaurants on the main strip. The neighborhood was very warm and I felt like I was truly immersed in Greek culture. Definitely not a manufactured, resort area but still quite lovely. Would definitely stay again.
