Being from the island, but now living abroad, we were looking for something central, close to the beach but not too noisy and somewhere where my family still living in Crete could come visit is. We were pleasantly surprised with the location and accommodation of Eleni's place. literally a short stroll to a lovely beach and just off the main road( we rented a car, but the bus stop was just at the bottom of the driveway) made the location perfect. it was just the two of us but Eleni's place is comfortable to accommodate a few more. The balcony is huge and we hosted a family brunch for about 10 people comfortably ( the owner was kind enough to bring us an extra table and chairs to use ).
If you're looking for somewhere to stay while discovering Chania, or planning on relaxing without having to go far to find what you want, i highly recommend visiting Eleni's place.
