If spending your days on the Cretan coast sounds like a dreamy break, this apartment just 100 metres from sandy Kavros Beach is for you. The minimalist decor won’t suit those looking for a truly characterful stay, and at capacity, two guests will need to share the sofa bed in the living area. However, the sunny private balcony is a nice touch, and you’ll find restaurants within walking distance – a handy plus given the compact kitchenette. While free parking is available on-site, you’ll also find a bus stop 50 metres away with services to Chania, Rethymno or Heraklion, and your host is happy to organise a wide range of tours and activities (for a fee) to make sure you get the most out of your stay.
