A very good place to stay, even in this Covid times there was a big hospitality, The studio is nice, good bed, good place to cook or make coffee, there are plenty things to make you feel welcome... free water bottles, even a bottle of wine. The hosts are very kind and helpfull.
Aptera is a must do if you visit the Chania area.
You can visit the old Aptera of cause, one of the most intresting archeological sites I have ever seen. You can buy a combi ticket in the archeological museum of Chania or buy a ticket on the site itself, 4 euros.
But you can go for a nice walk too or even visit the sweet little Kalamibeach were you are with the locals, there is a mini bar with drinks, icecream and snacks.. Watch out: it is a nice hike to get to the beach but many walking ways are closed by shepperds. However the one closest to Aptera hotel is still open. You just have to open and close a few doors so that the sheeps do not escape.
From the hotel you have a view both on the white mountains and on a river near to a beautiful bay. Three taverns are a few steps away.
If you want to visit Chania and meanwhile taste the real Crete in a calm and beautiful area, choose Aptera to stay. There is even a buss to get to Chania and back every 30 minutes, the stop is a 2 km walk.
I truly recommand Aptera and before all Aptera hotel.
