This was a great little apartment. It had everything we needed and was clean and tidy. Marianna is brilliant and kept in touch to check we were happy and to lets us know when house keepers would be visiting. We were met on arrival by Violetta and were shown around. Thoughtfully we had been left some supplies - water, lovely bowl of fruit, tea coffee, washing up liquid etc which was most welcome. The pool area is perfect - most of the time we had it to ourselves and its is right outside which meant children could go in whenever they wanted and we could keep an eye on them. As well as bathroom towels- Marianna also provides pool towels. Local beaches are nice with warm, clear shallow water which is great for families. You can walk to Tursanas beach down the road but its a bit of a hike back up to the village in the heat so we always used the car. Its great for playing and snorkelling. Their are several local tavernas that you can walk to and a small supermarket but you will need a car as Chorofakia is fairly remote in terms of location. That said its close to the airport (only 15 minutes) so really easy to get to. Chania is a good 20 minute drive away but the harbour, hundreds of restaurants and shops are worth visiting. It is literally buzzing with activity at night. We had a most enjoyable holiday at The Palms.
