Chania a 25 min, le spiagge più famose da 5 min a 2;10 per Elafonissi. Solo una nota… il rifacimento giornaliero del letto non è compreso: puliscono la stanza ma non rifanno il letto 😅niente di grave per carità ma è la prima volta che mi capita.

"Perfectly situated in the small town of Georgioupoli. Plenty of places to eat (highly recommend Poseidon!) & drink all within walking distance. Right on the beach, with private & free loungers for hotel guests and food/drink service. The staff were very helpful and welcoming on arrival (shout out to Kaan). Would definitely stay here again and I don't say that about anywhere! Genuinely the photos don't do the hotel justice. Only thing that let the hotel/area down was the amount of litter and cockroaches around the staircase up to our room which just kept accumulating over a few days."
