About the host
Hosted by Helian
We’re John and Christine Warwick—he’s British, she’s French/Italian—and we instantly fell in love with Crete. There’s something magical about this island: the golden sunshine, breathtaking landscapes, and most of all, the warmth and hospitality of the Cretan people. We’ve traveled across Europe, but nowhere else have we felt so completely at ease and at home as in this corner of Western Crete.
When the chance came to make this paradise our own, we didn’t hesitate. Now, we’re thrilled to share it with you—our friends, family, and visitors from around the world. We want you to experience the same joy and relaxation we have, and we’ll provide all the tips and guidance you need to make your stay truly unforgettable.
Why they chose this property
Fall in love with Crete, just like we did! From the moment we first visited this magical island, we knew we had to make it our own. As Italian and French, Crete instantly reminded Christine of the Cote d’Azur and Tuscany—before they became crowded with tourists. Here in Western Crete, tradition and charm are still alive and untouched.
Our apartment puts you right in the heart of it all: modern, fully equipped, and literally on the beach with direct access through our 16-apartment complex. Enjoy a delicious meal just two minutes away at a local taverna, or pick up essentials at the supermarket opposite. Explore the enchanting Venetian town of Chania (La Canea) or stroll through historic Rethymno with its Turkish legacy—both just a short drive away.
Relax, unwind, and soak up the sun, sand, and authentic Cretan lifestyle. Your perfect holiday starts here!
What makes this property unique
TWake up to stunning sea views and step straight onto golden sand—no roads to cross, just your own slice of paradise. Enjoy meals on the balcony overlooking the sea or explore the many local tavernas just a short walk away. Everything you need is within easy reach, yet the apartment remains peaceful and tucked away from the heart of Kalyves.
Chania is only 20 minutes away, with buses and taxis ready to whisk you to its vibrant Venetian harbour. Want to explore more of Crete? We can help arrange car hire so your holiday adventure is completely yours to design.
