Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located just 100 metres from Kavros Beach’s long stretch of sand, this practical apartment puts you in a prime spot to enjoy the best of the Cretan coastline. The pad is modern though not the most inspiring in our collection. However, a private furnished balcony is a nice touch and the sofa bed in the living area offers flexible sleeping arrangements. You’ll be within walking distance of a supermarket, and 50 metres away you’ll find a bus stop with regular services to Chania, Rethymno or Heraklion. With your host able to organise all sorts of extras (for a fee), including tours, private chefs and yoga sessions, you’re in for a relaxing time.
