Where to start. There are so many hotels on Crete, and I must say it is an absolute mistake NOT to book a personal experience like this one with Evangelia and her son Ioannis. Chania is a very touristic town, with great sunsets and wonderful food, but I must say being able to share our time with a lovely family is what made this island so special to us in the end. Ioannis was the perfect host extremely communicative before the trip (even offering help during our quick stay in London) and throughout. Checking on us frequently, helping to communicate with his amazing mother (who spoke great English, but also utilized Ioannis' fluency here and there) as well as arranging cleaning services, and helping ease our fears when the internet went out just momentarily one work day. We really got to appreciate how wonderful Greek hospitality is with surprise home cooked meals, fresh vegetables from the garden, home-pressed olive oil and pastries with Raki to boot. We felt truly, and fully taken care of by this amazing family available at all hours to help our visit go as smoothly as possible.
The unit itself is great. Location is 5/5. Once you get your bearings, you realize everything is either an easy walk (grocery store, beach, cafes, restaurants, even a great park to run at) or a very easy bus ride. The bus stop in front of the BMW dealership is very obvious and cheap for transport into Chania. Air conditioning was consistent, the shower was luxurious, the kitchen came equipped with everything we needed for a month and as two digital nomads, we can confirm that the wifi speed was fast enough for two constant workers. Highly recommend and miss our Greek home away from home already. Thank you!
