If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. As a family, we have never relaxed this much on a holiday before. Eleni and Georgios looked after us amazingly and gave us some great advice about where is good to eat, the best way to go to see places. They really are the perfect hosts.
There is a beach in front of the house with a safe, sandy entry point and also with rocks that make for good snorkelling. There used to be a quarry here a few hundred years ago and the work has created a shallow natural pool just 20 metres off the beach. It's an awesome sight and the water is super warm. You will need water sandals due to sharp stones and even so be very careful, some of the stones are very slippery. Avoid stones that are darker in colour.
Less than 5 minutes' walk away is a sandy beach with very safe shallow water. This is the beach that Zorba the Greek was filmed on, so watch the end of the film for a preview. It's awesome! The hill behind it has a cool cave.
Within 15 to 20 minutes by car you have more caves, monasteries, Chania old town, plenty to do without travelling for miles.
This is a quiet and relaxed village holiday, great for mental well-being. The food is the best we have eaten in Europe. The local people are incredibly friendly and welcoming, more so than anywhere else we have been. We'll certainly be going back and would recommend it unreservedly to anybody.
