Wonderful! A few minutes from Stavros beach.

Fabulous! Located on Akrotiri peninsula where Chania airport is. Therefore, ideal for Chania airport and brilliant for convenient airport transport. Nanakis Beach Apartments were utterly brilliant helping with the airport transport to the apartments. Our taxi driver from the airport was the best in the entire universe! We arrived late and the key was in our apartment door with excellent instructions re how to locate our apartment. The utterly lovely Blue Flag beach and cove of Stavros is a few minutes away. There are two old bicycles for guests to take to go shopping at the mini market on the small road gently down to Stavros beach and cove with some delightful tavernas there. We found the bikes a miracle and great fun! However, this location is clearly most suited to travelers with a car. Nonetheless, we enjoy travelling without the worry of a car and it is possible without a car. Best if you don't mind booking your taxi, ideally, a day in advance.

Nous adorons la Grèce

Ma conjointe et moi avons réservé un séjour du 5 au 13 Juin 2024 au Nanakis Beach Apartments. Ce fut une agréable surprise, nous avons adoré le coté retiré de la villa mais en même temps à proximité des petites villes avoisinantes ! Le service, la disponibilité et la gentillesse de la famille qui opère ont certainement fait une différence dans l’appréciation de notre voyage dans cette région ! Nous sommes amateurs de nature et la localisation de la villa nous a permis de profiter pleinement des attraits touristiques du secteur ! Je recommande sans hésitation Nanakis Beach Apartments !

This property was absolutely stunning and our front door opened right out to the beach! The staff was also extremely helpful. We weren’t very knowledgeable about the bus systems and they helped us get around and even personally gave us a ride so we wouldn’t have to walk to Stavros. We will definitely be coming back here if possible!

Obwohl wir nur einen Tag im Hotel waren, als Stopover von der Weiterreise, war die Zuvorkommenheit und Hilfsbereitschaft beispielhaft. Alle unsere Wünsche wurden berücksichtigt und als es am Abend regnete, wurden wir sogar vom Restaurant im Ort abgeholt.

For a luxury place, needs better air conditioning

A very nice apartment, and the surrounding area is great. However, there was no AC in the bedrooms on a very hot day. We tried to leave the windows open for a breeze, but we finally decided to open the doors to the bedrooms and blast the AC (located in the living/dining area) to cool down the place. Just wouldn't cool down; the AC was not powerful enough. Very uncomfortable night. The internet was great. Best wifi we had in Crete. Nice gift of wine and raki in the kitchen.

Beautiful Apartments by Rugged Seashore

This small development of apartments is very stylish and the owners are on site every day to ensure everything is kept impeccable. A car is pretty essential as there are very few facilities nearby but there is ample parking on the site. When we return to the Chania area this will be our preferred place to stay. It is also near the airport for anyone flying to or from Chania.

This is the nicest place we have been to on Crete

The apartments were beautifully situated over looking the sea with a pool right at your front door. Staff are so friendly and will do anything for you. All the apartments are cleaned to very high standard every day. Was relaxing yet very enjoyable all rolled into one. Local supermarket small but enough and also very helpful. Definitely returning...
