The lodge is perfectly positioned for those who want to stay somewhere a bit quieter.
Pretty straightforward to get there from the Airport.

If you have never been before, the magic of Crete might be quite subtle at first, but it will grow on you quickly. Pretty much everyone speaks English, so it's easy to communicate.

Around 20 minutes on a bus to the lovely town of Chania. 5 minutes walk down to the beach where you can watch an amazing, amazing sunset (the beaches are a bit rocky nearby, but you don't have to go far to find more sandy ones).

Various shops close by. Definitely recommend getting some kind of bug spray - you might not see or hear them, but they are there.

Vassilis and Revekka are very accommodating and helpful with planning journeys and trips. They have a big book with information on different walks / tours.

There is an absolutely brilliant restaurant called 'Wave' - about 15-20 minutes walk away. There's another great one in Platanias called Poseidon.

Watch out for the Raki...

I will be going back.
