About this apartment rental
The ‘House in the Sun’ is a large well equipped 55sqm apartment with 180 degree views of the foothills of the white mountains.
Located on the edge the sleepy village of Paidohori, the house is 15 minutes from the lovely sandy beach resorts of Kalyves and 20 minutes from Almyrida.
The nearest mini market, pharmacy and taverna are in Agioi Pantes which is a very short drive - or a longer stroll away.
The apartment has a well equipped full sized kitchen, generous double bed and a large living area which has a single sofa bed and/or a travel cot for additional guests if required, and a separate modern shower room and toilet. The apartment has a TV, DVD and Wifi.
The solar-heated salt water swimming pool is shared with the property owners.
Heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer are available if required.
Guests have sole use of a large private patio and a shaded seating area with amazing views.
The owners have several cats who enjoy greeting guests.
There are many interesting and varied walks around the area, along the coast, inland on the plains, or for the more adventurous into the mountains, all with stunning views and varied wildlife.
Several important archaeological sites are within easy reach by car.
Chania, the picturesque Venetian city with its historic harbour is a fabulous place to visit and stroll around the old town then eat by the waterfront or up the hidden side streets. It is only 30 minutes away by car or bus.
The village of Paidohori is situated between Chania and Rethymno. Chania airport is approximately 45 minutes away, and Heraklion airport is under 2 hours. We are 2-3 minutes from the Agioi Pantes junction on the national road.
There is public transport from Chania and Rethymno to Agioi Pantes on the national road where there is a taxi rank, however we would recommend guests hire a car.
The price includes a welcome pack of some bakery products, a selection of 'in season' local fruit, milk, tea and coffee to make your first morning breakfast a relaxing experience,
The English owners live upstairs in a separate apartment.
From 1st January 2025 we are required by the Greek government to collect 8 euros per night 'Climate Resilience Levy' on your arrival. However, from January 1st 2026 we have chosen to pay this on your behalf, meaning that there will be no extra charges on arrival.
Our AMA registration number for the short term property rental register is 00002551175

Lovely property.Kath & Chris were lovely people and excellant hosts, full of useful tips.Lovely spot with lovely views. Lovely pool.Lovely location - centrally located for access that everything the West of Crete has to offer, while being in a lovely location. Lovely local tavernas and close enough to get to the lovely Venetian harbours of both Chania and Rethyno. Couldn't forget the lovely cats.All adds up to a lovely holiday - well be back.

This was our 5th time in this area of Crete , we have had villas and houses all with pools , this was the best .Whilst Chris and Kathie live upstairs you wouldn't know they are there .So peaceful, just the odd cockerill goat or sheep in the distance. Loads of very good options for dinning and very affordable , fantastic break , we will be back for sure.

The House in the Sun is a really well-chosen name. We had a wonderful stay in this cosy apartment, Kathie and Chris are truly excellent hosts, always friendly and helpful. Both check-in and check-out were hassle-free. The flat has a well-equipped kitchen, as well as a fireplace and air conditioning. And, of course, lots of friendly and curious cats arround.
