About the Location

Greece, Crete, Chania

Kalathas belongs to the wider area of Akrotiri and can be reached from the same road that leads to the famous beach of Stavros, where scenes from Zorbas the Greek were filmed. Kalathas is a well-organized beach that offers a range of watersports and accommodation options. The water here is shallow and this makes it suitable for families with children.

On the whole, Kalathas beach is a tranquil beach, yet it can get crowded during the summer since it is close to Chania town. Taste great traditional and seafood dishes in the traditional tavern of this beach.

Situated in the most western part of Crete island, Chania is considered among the most picturesque cities of the island due to its beautiful architecture. It is a crossroad of many civilizations that have left their trails on the island. Chania has truly amazing places to visit, from secret villages and fabulous beaches to interesting historical sights. The most impressive beaches are Balos, Elafonissi and Falassarna, while there are innumerable other amazing beaches around its coastline, from organized resorts to totally secluded coves.

Crete is the largest island in Greece and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. Here you can admire the remnants of brilliant civilizations, explore glorious beaches, impressive mountainscapes, fertile valleys and steep gorges, and become part of the island’s rich gastronomic culture. One of the most popular destinations of the country, Crete is the dream of a lifetime for millions of tourists.

Being among the top 20 tourist destinations worldwide, Greece is synonymous with 3 things: history and ancient civilization, amazing landscapes and top touristic destinations. Greece is so wealthy in culture and beauty that it never seems to be completely explored. Holidays in Greece is the ultimate experience all year round. It offers a great pallet of experiences; the warm sun, the crystal clear beaches, the dramatic nature, the rich culture and the renowned hospitality along with the unique culinary experience of the Mediterranean diet.

We had a great time

Anastasia took wonderful care of us! The house with a pool was wonderful for our family vacation (6 adults and 2 children). The walk to the beach runs along the main road, which is not ideal with children. By car, the beaches and restaurants can be reached in just a few minutes. The kitchen is very good and equipped with everything necessary. The beds are comfortable. The pool can be heated for an additional fee (€80 per day, which in my opinion is too high, since it is heated with a heat pump). If you want to spend a quiet holiday, this is the right place! Thank you for everything.

It was truly a great house !

We felt really comfortable staying there with two families, including 4 adults and 4 children. The neighbors are super nice, and the support/care we received was also really great. The distance to the beautiful nearby beach is about a 20-minute walk and, despite the hill, it’s manageable. We decided to get the pool heated in May, and that was really excellent.

We had a great stay!

The place was very clean, modernly furnished and exactly as described. We especially liked the well-equipped kitchen – it really had everything you need. The location is also great: in about 20 minutes you can be in Chania by car and on foot in about 15 minutes at the beach.
A highlight was the outdoor area – especially the pool was larger than expected and enhanced the stay. We were also surprised with a small welcome gift, which was a very nice gesture.
The only thing you should know: there are direct neighbours and a subtenant in a small separate apartment on the property. That didn't bother us much, but you had to be a little quieter in the evening and at night.
Overall a very nice place to stay that we can definitely recommend!

Wonderful house very well decorated very welcoming you feel at home

Great stay. Excellent support from the host, quiet location (even if close to the airport but no planes at night or even early or very often actually ), beach nearby by foot but you need a car for everything else. Not a bug deal.
Wonderful house very well decorated very welcoming you feel at home. Pool is fine 6x6 m roughly. Air-conditioning everywhere, welcome pack (cake a bit of food coffee fruits raki etc).

We highly recommend this villa !

We had an excellent stay at the villa – it was just right for our family. Anastasia was truly exceptional, going above and beyond from the moment we arrived. She kindly accommodated our early check-in, was always available to answer our questions, and even helped us organize activities during our visit. The villa is in a peaceful neighborhood and just a short 5-minute drive to Kalathas Beach, which made everything super convenient. We highly recommend this villa for a relaxing and memorable summer holiday.

This property is amazing

This property is amazing. I was a bit worried visiting a property that had no feedback at time of booking. But being 1 of the 1st guests here has been an absolute privilege. The accommodation is beautiful, new and immaculate. The kitchen is well stocked everything you need for a family stay, much needed AC in all rooms, fantastic showers. The outdoor space is lovely, nice size pool. The house is situated in a very quiet urban an area some lovely views from balconies. Car is required, but everything is just a short distance away, 20 mins to airport, 3 mins to closest beach or 20 mins to other fab beaches, 5 mins to supermarket and restaurants and chania only 15 mins drive. The hosts are really fantastic, great communications, checking in with us making sure all stay was everything we were looking for, they were able to give lots of recommendations and responded very quickly and efficiently to a queries we had. Our family of 7 had an amazing stay, highly recommend the property & hosts
