Seaview studio, Chania old harbor
I had a lovely time in John's place. The apartment is in a great location in the old time. It was easy to walk everywhere, and had a stunning view of the sea. John was a great host. He was very communicative and helpful, and provided lots of recommendations for food and activities to enjoy in Chania. I came for a friend's wedding and so was in and out a lot throughout the weekend, and had a very easy time coming in and out late at night.

ENETIKO ROOMS Balcony -Old Town Chania
Great place to stay, right in the old town with a great choice of restaurants on the doorstep. We had the apartment with seaview, great to people watch. The apartment was spacious, clean, shower & hair wash supplied. Very comfy bed & very nice linen. The cleaner came everyday, was very friendly & funny. Would happily stay again & recommend.

Klea Apartment
Exactly as described! Manolis is a wonderful host and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home! He gave wonderful recommendations and was attentive whenever we had questions. On site parking was an amazing feature and an in unit washer really helped as this was a stop in the middle of a longer trip. The stay was exactly what we had hoped for and we were very comfortable. For reference, we were 4 adults (2 couples).

Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

City Center Penthouse on the Beach
A great location right near the beach with clear views of an incredible sunset. The balcony was our favorite part but the location was great, with restaurants within seconds and the old port within a nice 15min walk along the water. Perfect. Katerina and George were amazing, easy communication and both went above and beyong welcoming us to Chania. Would highly recommend staying here if youre visiting Chania.

Artemis Seafront Apartments - 6
Wir hatten eine wundervolle Woche in dieser Unterkunft direkt am Meer! Die Wohnung ist sehr schön eingerichtet und der Blick vom Balkon aufs Meer ist ein Traum. Die Küche hatte eine Basic Ausstattung. Es gibt sogar einen Zimmerservice, der alle paar Tage die Handtücher austauscht, Müll entsorgt und sauber macht. Der Strandabschnitt ist recht ruhig und an den meisten Tagen waren wir fast allein dort. Man kann dort auch gut schnorcheln, wenn man mag. In der Nähe befinden sich zwei Tavernen, die uns beide sehr gefallen haben. Wir hatten einen Mietwagen und würden dies auch empfehlen. Der einzige Manko ist die Straße. Man hört sie aber nicht sehr stark unten am Meer und mit geschlossenem Fenster konnte man gut schlafen. Wir haben es beide nicht als wirklich störend wahrgenommen. Das schöne Grundstück und die Lage machen es definitiv wett. Wir würden immer wieder kommen!

7Olives suite no3. Arched balcony SEAview. Thyme
Het appartement is compact maar prima. Het ligt iets tegen de heuvel, wat goed beloopbaar is ( wel stijgend dus). Het uitzicht over de baai verveelt nooit, is zo prachtig! In het dorpje voldoende supermarkten en restaurants, genoeg te kiezen. Een flink deel van het strand is een langzaam aflopend zandstrand. Echt fijn! Verder een prima uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te bekijken.

Akrotiri Panorama Apartment 2
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Es ist eine sehr ruhige Umgebung. Wer gern für sich ist und weg vom Tourismus will ist hier genau richtig. Die Unterkunft war sauber und absolut ausreichend. Der Whirlpool war unser Highlight.

SeãCret
Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in Kalimbari. Unsere Gastgeberin Georgia hat uns freundlich empfangen und die Wohnung ist mit einer Erstausstattung wie z.B. Wasser, Früchte, Honig und Zwieback für die ersten Tage ausgestattet. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und bei einem längeren Aufenthalt werden sogar Bettwäsche und Handtücher ausgetauscht. Die Ausflugstipps von Georgia haben wir sehr gerne angenommen. Der Ort bietet einen guten Ausgangspunkt für vielerlei Tagestouren im westlichen Kreta. Bei allen Anliegen waren Georgia und ihr Mann äußerst hilfsbereit. Wir haben die 11 Tage dort sehr genossen und fühlten uns beim Abschied fast schon so, als würden wir zur Familie gehören. Vielen Dank nochmal an Georgia und ihren Mann 🙂 Ulrike & Markus

Sea Star-seafront
Cette maison de pêcheurs est un endroit de rêve d’un calme absolu, bercé par le bruit des vagues comme si nous étions sur un bateau. L’endroit est parfait pour se reposer. Les terrasses disposées différemment sont un vrai bonheur. Notre hôte était d’une gentillesse incroyable et prévenant. Nous avons été accueillis avec des des fruits, des figues confites du cake et des biscuits, fait maison, excellent et sa maman nous avait confectionné un plat typique grec, délicieux. Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour ,nous reviendrons sans hésiter car c’est vraiment le plus bel endroit où l’on a passé des vacances pourtant nous avons beaucoup voyagé.

Villa Recluso- heated pool,hydromassage,bbq,view
I truly recommend staying with Niko in this beautiful villa! The house is very modern, the outside area spectacular and private and the communication with Niko was clear and helpful. The accommodation works for both families and friends. The house is located around 30mins from Chania which is easy to get to by car. Can only recommend renting this villa.

Villa Vriko
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay Apartment was clean and inviting . Plenty of room for my entire family Host was quick to help with questions we had . Don’t hesitate to stay at this great place when we come back, we will definitely book here .

Vista Mare Villa Heated Pool
The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.

Blue Sea Apartment
Chrisi ist eine hervorragende Gastgeberin! Sie war jederzeit hilfsbereit und immer gut gelaunt und freundlich . Die Wohnung ist perfekt für Ausflüge , aber auch perfekt zum Strand um die Ecke. Dazu ist alles vorhanden , was man zum Leben braucht und es gibt sogar eine kleine Flasche Raki im Kühlschrank zur Begrüßung. Wir werden wieder mal hierher kommen!! Brigitte und Peter

Venetian Harbour Gem
The views from this place are beyond breathtaking, especially at sunset! This is an area that is just walking distance from the touristy spot and is very peaceful. My bf was worried about smell and sound being above a restaurant, but there were zero issues. It’s practically sound proof. We sat on the balcony multiple times a day to people watch and listen to the beautiful street performers. We must have missed it in the listing, but please note that this is a home someone lives in. So you don’t have as much storage as you would in an Airbnb dedicated to guests only. We had one closet, two drawers, and could store suitcases under the bed. Not much storage or counter space for our things, but the host did say we could use anything in the house which was nice for cooking our own meals. Highly recommend the brunch and coffee at the Sandbar! Would definitely recommend this spot, especially for couples. The bed is a thick memory foam mattress and was very cozy & comfortable. We slept great!

EYGE transformed modern apartment by the sea-new!
The apartment, its location, and the hosts’ hospitality are simply impressive. The room had everything we needed - even sun hats, beach towels, and slippers. A separate crib was provided for our son. The apartment also came with a juicer, toaster, coffee machine, coffee, tea, and plenty of food. However, the place is better suited for couples without small children. Our 1-year-4-month-old son constantly wanted to go up and down the stairs (which isn’t very safe) or out onto the balcony. Still, he managed to enjoy the beautiful views and woke up saying ‘wooow.’ 😁 The water at the beach is perfect for small children and peaceful relaxation. We had a wonderful vacation! Nearby, we discovered a lovely restaurant called Halepa with incredible sunsets and delicious seafood - highly recommended.

Tasoula's Studio in front of the beach
Très bon rapport qualité prix, c’est comme sur la description. L’hôte est réactif et accueillant.

Beachside Apartment in Plakias centre!
Wir waren als Familie mit 2 kleinen Kindern für 1 Woche in der Unterkunft. Wir konnten 2 Babybetten und einen Hochstuhl haben, was eine grosse Erleichterung war. Alles war wie beschrieben und sehr sauber. Meer und Strand und Restaurants etc. sind direkt um die Ecke. Von der Terrasse hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Berge hinter denen die Sonne untergeht und um die Ecke sieht man aufs Meer. Grosser Parkplatz vor der Tür. Nach 3 Tagen wurde die Wohnung geputzt, Abfall entsorgt, Bettwäsche und Handtücher gewechselt, wunderbar! Es gibt eine lange Treppe um in die Wohnung zu kommen, ohne Lift, für uns war es aber kein Problem.

Amazing penthouse, 1 bdr, Sea view, Sea front
5 things we loved 🥰 : 1. The proximity to the sea: going to the beach around the corner and go for a swim 2. The huge terrasse with the table where we had breakfast and yoga every morning outside 3. The very well equipped and cosy apartment from hair dryer to toaster, from books to jazz CD's 4. The proximity to everything ; the town via multiple ways along the coastal path. 5. The warm welcome from Christina Plus the ease to park the car at the end of the street We recommend this apartment and would love to come back

Agiazi Beachfront Apartment - 40m from the beach!
Wir waren rundum zufrieden!
