9.2/10 Wonderful! (12 reviews)

This property is just excellent. It is spotlessly clean and well maintained. The location is perfect if you're looking for somewhere quiet yet just a 5 minute drive away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist hot spots and beautiful sandy beach. There are two tavernas and a cafe that also does food within walking distance. All are excellent and very reasonably priced. A lovely welcome from Platon awaits as he will do all he can to make your stay enjoyable. If you decide to visit Chania old town ask him for his map of Chania and the best places to park and you will save yourself a lot of time. I can't speak more highly of our holiday there, it was just perfect.
