This is a lovely villa in a great location on a sandy beach. Perfect place for a beach holiday, but with Chania and its many restaurants and bars nearby. The villa couldn't be faulted, and the pool, basketball court and play areas make it a treasure for all the family. Upon arrival the kitchen was stocked with all essentials which was very kind of the owners, Dimitrios and his wife. The manager of the property, Manolis, is a lovely person and was always available and helpful. He and the owners kindly brought over a moussaka and baclava during our stay - we have stayed in many nice villas, but have never had such wonderful treatment. This is a really special place to stay. Nearby there are a couple of good markets for daily needs and there is a big supermarket 10 mins drive away. The local taverna, Irene, is really excellent. The villa and beach are so nice that it was hard to make the decision to go out for a day trip! But if you do, Elaphonisos is an amazing and unique place about 90 mins drive away. However, it's crowded even in September so I can't imagine how full it must get in the peak season. This is a wonderful place for a relaxing holiday, and we will for sure be back in a couple of years.
