The greatest advantage is the location. Aptera is a small and friendly village with 3 small welcoming tavernas and nice local community. It is absolutely peaceful and located at only 20 minutes drive from old town and harbour of Chania with hundreed thousands tourists and a big variety of restaurants, shops and entertainment.
Althea Maisonnettes Terpsichore offers an amazing view on Souda Bay. Sunsets and sunrises wth a cup of coffee or wine near the pool are an absolute must-have. A great beach (Kiani Akhti) is a 7 minutes drive. 2 closest big supermarkets are only 10 minutes drive (either Souda or Kalyves).
Althea Maisonnettes is a complexe of 3 small identic houses - studio/kitchen and small patio on the 1 floor and 2 bedrooms and toilettes on the 2nd foor. A common area (a small pool, bay-view terrace and barbecue area) are shared by all guests - but we met other people not very often. Chrysi, her mother Katarina, her father Vasilis and their neghbour Eleni are very helpful and welcoming people. They speak good English. They were available when needed without showing too often. We liked that talen of theirs.
We enjoyed our 2 week holidays a lot and would definitely come again.
