Apartment in the old town with a terrace...Savais
Very relaxing and wonderful space, I wish I was napping on the patio now.

Kores boutique houses - Aspasia
Beautiful, clean, and very responsive. The stay was as advertised. This home is well maintained, comfortable , and close to everything.

Apartment next to the beach
5* place 5* location 5* communication.

Amoutsa Seaside Villa, 10 steps from the sea.
The location is stunning. Right on the beach with gorgeous views from the living room and bedrooms!

Elpida Seafront Paradise
We loved this place. The balcony was very large with a direct view of the sea. There was a natural swimming area in front of the place that was perfect for a dip anytime. The sunsets were amazing. It is close enough to walk to the Chania city center, but a car is recommended to visit the many beaches on the island. Elpida was always available for any guidance that was needed. The place is a gem we hope to visit again!

Charming flatlet in the Old Town!
Absolutely beautiful location, 2 minute walk to the main Old Port area and tons of nice shops in the back streets.

City Beach,Seafront Villa by CHANiA LiVING STORiES
The place was great! We loved it! Close to the beach, great restaurants, walking distance to the old port and supermarket, not too far from the highway. The lodging was enormous and had so much room, ac worked great, having a parking space was very practical. Go ahead and book you won’t regret it.

THE VIEW!
Jeronimo is a really great host. Very, very friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable and welcome right away. The accommodation is beautifully located above the small Soudabucht with magnificent views. Two recommended taverns are within walking distance. Jeronimo's bar is also great and not to be missed. We can highly recommend the beautiful, simple but functional accommodation.
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Vista Mare Villa Heated Pool
The place is so beautiful and clean. The view from the outdoors is nice and peaceful. The scene of sheep eating grass multiple times a day in a small field under the pool is wonderful. (Photo first house) Maria, who showed us around, is so kind and nice.

Triple Studio Beach Apartment with Breakfast
Sara was a great host. She was always very kind and present. The apartment was as described, it was also very clean as well as the linens. The house also had beach towels, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap and sponges, and umbrellas, mats and beach masks were also available for guests. All the staff were friendly, very smiling and available. The well-kept, rich and pleasant breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea. The swimming pool is always super clean. I would come back now!

Pearl Seaside Cozy Apartments 5
Extremely beautiful and friendly!

Luxury Villa Argi Infinity pool
Beautiful villa in a great location. If your are stunned by the pictures, you sure will be stunned by the villa itself - it is simply a gem. It lies at the top of a hill overlooking Kissamos. If you don’t mind a short, steep walk, you can even reach the town (and a supermarket) per foot. If there is anything to criticize then it is the kitchen equipment - a few more big bowls for salad etc would be great. Ioannis is a great host, super friendly and helpful. We are definitely coming back.

Balos Residence private pool Seafront 3BD 2BTH
Simply put, one of the best AirBnB hosts & properties we’ve experienced. From the moment of booking Giorgos was helpful & responsive, providing clear instructions & many local recommendations. He was attentive throughout our stay & responded quickly when needed. As for the property it was lovely & clean with all the essentials & more. It was lovely to have the windows & doors open & the fly screens & shutters both make it that much more comfortable. There is A/C in 2 bedrooms & the living room if needed. The pool space & balconies were used by us throughout the stay. The location is very peaceful in a rural location with beautiful views of both the beach & mountains. The nearest restaurants were a 25 minute walk, & well worth it. We had a car & this was the perfect location to visit the stunning beaches of Balos, Falassarna & Elafonisi. Kissamos & the local beaches on the doorstep of the property are also well worth the visit. Highly recommended!

Sea View White Villa
This little villa was the perfect find for us! On a beautiful little cove with a beach across the street, private pool, very quiet and serene—a great hike up to a cave on the adjoining mountain, restaurants and groceries nearby, drivable to many of the islands locales—but even if you only get to nearby Chania, it’s such a charming town and well worth it. Stavros is the most gracious of hosts, very responsive and thoughtful, left us treats, kitchen was well stocked with basics, and he was full of helpful information to make our stay amazing. Wish we’d stayed here longer, honestly!!

Azure Beach One Bedroom Villa
Very warm welcome , the accommodation is very nice and clean. Beautiful beach nearby

Niovi Seaside Suites (2+2 persons / 1st Floor)
Nikolaos is very friendly, helpful and was always available. Everything was very clean. The apartment is located in a very quiet location with fantastic views of the sea. Taverns are within walking distance after a few meters. The apartment is equipped with everything you need. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.

Fortezza Studio
The studio was beautiful and clean, and the outdoor premises are very useful, in particular, if it is too windy on the beach. The location is awesome if you are in favour of privacy, calmness and nice views. During our stay, apart from the noise caused by a strong wind, there was total silence in the nights. That was astonishing, considered that despite the privacy, everything could be reached in 5 to 10 minutes. The place is not suitable for people with reduced mobility since you have to climb up steep steps to the place. Triantafyllia was a great hostess.

Enzo's Place
Superb apartment. Spacious, comfortable, modern, well equipped. Great location on edge of town with amazing views of mountains and sea. Very quiet and easy parking. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment.

Casa Marathi Blue Sky
Absolutely beautiful stay. Enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay again.

Zoe's Place - 1 BD Loft Beachfront Apt
We stayed there from June 1 to 7. Apartment faithful to the photos (a little extra with the two terraces (from one partly shaded) which allows us to be in the sun or in the shade at any time of day), private parking and accessibility to the beach on foot (15 meters). Close to the city center on foot (shops, restaurants, bars, pedestrian center, ...) and well located for visiting the west of Crete. The host who welcomed us was very nice (took the time to advise us on the area and his visits), available and responsive (we asked for an extra set of sheets that during the day was outside our door) thank you for the welcome and I recommend this apartment

2 apartments over the sea - Private place to swim
We had a glorious two weeks at Niko's place. For the first time at AirBNB it felt like we're were guests at a friends home. All of the promised essentials were provided in generous quantities - Niko's home grown fruit and veg were a particular treat and provided in such generous quantities that we couldn't eat them all. The place is simple but with all the equipment that you could need. The terrace a delight to enjoy the sun and the bathing spot a treat. Niko has landscaped a most wonderful extended garden which made the whole property just beautiful!

Villa Seashell★ Beach front Luxury villa in Chania
Karolina and Jadwiga are very pleasant hosts and the communication between us was always very quick and helpful. Check-in works perfectly. However, Google Maps showed us the neighboring building. However, the accommodation is written outside and accordingly you can find it that way. The accommodation itself is excellent: modern kitchen and bathrooms, beautiful rooms. And the outdoor area with sunbeds, umbrellas, tables, chairs, BBQ areas and beach is phenomenal! The only thing that is a bit disturbing: you are directly on the main road and in the house itself you can still hear this noise well.

Chania-Escapes City Loft by the Sea
We stayed at Irina’s for our honeymoon! We originally booked her other listing but she offered this listing as a gift to us for our honeymoon - this alone shows how kind irina is ! Her home is beautiful, clean, and unique. We met Irina for check in and she was so kind and welcoming. She gave us great recommendations on where to eat and things to do. Very responsive and checked in to see if we needed anything. Pita goal is across the street which made it easy for when we were hungry. a lot of other restaurants within walking distance. Also walking distance to the old town and easy to find parking! Felt like a local after 4 days as the neighbors always saw us and said hi ! Lol

Amaryllis
A perfect studio to stay in Palechora. The studio is an easy walk into the main town and to the large sandy beach. It’s in a peaceful setting and there’s no passing traffic. The studio was really well equipped, plenty of storage and nice touches like a Nespresso machine and pods, fruit bowl and bottled water. The hosts live above and are super friendly and helpful yet not intrusive. I hope to come back!
