The property is really nice as are all the staff. Pool area is spotless and has a fab view. Evening time there is not a lot to do if yo don’t have a car. That said, 5 minutes walk is the a hidden gem restaurant at the Kavos Hotel. Wonderful food, cocktails, helpful happy staff and a very good price range. Food was impeccable . However if you are after nightlife the location is a good 20 minutes from Channia by car.
If you are happy to walk most places there are some great beaches like the Blue Beach in Stavros and Tarsanas, near Chorafakia is not to be missed and when there have lunch at the T-Bay restaurant, a truly amazing restaurant with a fabulous view and outstanding staff. Another good eatery is Irene’s at Chorafakia.
There is also a good bus service in and out of Channia but only runs every couple of hours €2.50 each way so great value.
