Stelios' place was an easy walk to the old town of Chania and the beautiful harbour. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with everything you need. His wife met me to let me in and was very welcoming, then the next day Stelios made the trip specially to give me some tips of where to go on my motorbike tour. His advise was perfect! He told me an amazing pristine beach you'd never know about just around from Elafonisi, I'm not someone who likes the crowds so for me it was wonderful. You have to walk down and take lunch as there's nothing there, but it's so worth it. I would say the most amazing beach I've been to in Crete, and there are many. Then I rode up to Balos beach, which is a scenic ride, I even did the trek down to the beach just to see but it's not a patch on the other one in my opinion and busy. Then back to Chania. My stay in Stelios' place was top notch and his advice for my ongoing journey very appreciated.
