One of the best stays I've had — and at an extraordinary price. Elea Apartments ticked every single box. The location is perfect: close to beaches, supermarkets, and everything you need, yet quiet enough to truly relax. Just a 10-minute drive to Chania old town, and a bus stop nearby if you don't have a car. The property itself is wonderful — spotlessly clean, peaceful, with beautiful sunlight and two terraces that made every morning feel special. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made the stay even more comfortable and flexible. Parking is available on site, which is a huge plus when exploring Crete by rental car. The staff were genuinely warm and friendly throughout our stay. Overall: great location, beautiful property, friendly staff, perfect sunlight, complete facilities — all at a remarkably reasonable price. Elea is everything a holiday apartment should be. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back.

“A peaceful stay within easy reach of beach.”
Very peaceful and attractive location among olive trees, spoiled only by a neighbour's occasionally barking dog. Apartment was adequately equipped for my needs (with a kettle). Easy walk to / from beach and supermarkets.

“A peaceful and green oasis”
A peaceful and green oasis – perfect for a relaxing holiday! The hotel is small and very quiet, surrounded by olive groves with no noise from nearby areas. The grounds are lush and beautifully maintained — the gardeners do an amazing job. The pool is cleaned daily, and the lifeguard is very attentive. It’s a 10–15 minute easy walk to the sea through a lovely pine park. There are four great beaches nearby: family-friendly ones, calm lagoons, and spots for surfers — something for everyone. The bed was very comfortable and the bed linen was excellent. Cleaning was average. The air conditioner is located directly opposite the bed, so we just opened the windows instead a We stayed in an apartment on the second floor. It was dual-aspect, which was very convenient — we could open the balcony doors on both sides and enjoy a light, pleasant breeze. Each balcony (one private, one shared) had a small table, perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee. There are bins for trash located behind the bar, and a laundry service is available, but Noone told this Also, a lovely family of cats lives at the hotel — a charming touch!

“Great value for money in lovely area of Chania”
The location is ideal, being in walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars and the beach! The environment is very peaceful with lots of trees and wildlife. The kitchen was well equipped and having a balcony at the front and back was great!

“I will definitelly recomend Elea for all my friends.”
Place is about 400-500 m from the local bus station (in front of Lidl and Synka on the other road side). Beautiful area with olive trees, citrone and banana trees. Owners and workers - very nice & friendly people; always there to help. Very nice stay: calm and beautiful place. Cleaning ang changing of the towels every 3 days (too many towels :) ). Clean and nice pool. Couple of friendly cats (some kittens there) - additional bonus for our children. Very good bus connection, close to big shops; close to some nice tavernas. 4 or 5 beaches to be chosen; in the distance between 800 up to 1200m. Good connection to local tourists trips. Good and easy connection (bus every 20-25 min.) to Chania center.
