Mountain views (see video), 3 bedrooms, 550m easy walk to beach, 2 shared pools

This guest has summed it up beautifully - the comfortable villa and its lovely pools, its closeness to the beach and the amazing amenities of the resort of Almyrida.

Agreed. A larger TV screen would be a good improvement for the 2025 season. The second toilet/shower is compact! We have updated the description to state this.

Please take the time to read our many other reviews – currently all 10/10 Excellent. We were very sorry to read that these guests had such difficulties in doing the shopping and taking their rubbish to the communal waste site. We wish they had told us at the time as we could have helped them with advice on how others, without cars, had successfully managed. In response to their statement that a car was necessary because the supermarket was too far away, here are some comments from our kind reviewers: • Within walking distance of numerous restaurants, supermarkets (22 August 2021) • Short walk to the sea and village (10 September 2023) • It is set back from the town, only a short 5-minute walk away (3 September 2022) • For those who do not want to drive but wish a larger choice of food, it is easy to get a taxi to the supermarket in nearby Kalyves (31 July 2018) • If you don't drive, you can manage well with taxis and the bus (4 August 2018) In response to the "distant disposal point", Almyrida's modern, shiny and underground storage site is located on the beach front beside the tavernas. A 650m (9-minute walk) from the villa, according to Gmaps. In response to their general comments that there was too little information on the website and that the house was not equipped for 6 people I did ask them to please give me more information. Unfortunately, I have had no response.

This is a very complimentary and detailed review of our villa and its location. The visitors were a German family of two adults and four children. I have used an online translation site to produce the following English version: "The house has everything you need for a family vacation (including air conditioning). House is generous and spacious and fully equipped (space for suitcases, sufficient closet space with hangers, etc.), absolutely clean. 2 balconies and 2 terraces always offered the opportunity to be in the shade in the heat. The children used the two pools a lot, the walking distance to the beach was also perfect. Quiet location in a residential street within walking distance of numerous restaurants, supermarkets, etc. We really enjoyed our time here and felt very comfortable. Contact to the landlady very, very nice and friendly. Finella is very helpful and takes care of all inquiries."

We had this lovely review from a Swedish guest. I have used an online translation site to produce the following english version, correcting what I thought were mechanical translation errors with additional text [...]. "Wonderful villa with 3 nice bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, well equipped kitchen. Nice area, quiet and nice with 2 nice pools to choose from. Only 5 minutes walk to a wonderful sandy beach. Many nice restaurants to choose from and all we visited with nice and service minded staff. Are there any [there are many] small shops to shop in but if you want to cook some food every day (lunch or dinner) you should rent a car and go to Chania to shop for a big deal, but it costs only 45 euros to rent a car one day so it's Affordable since the small shops are a little more expensive. Overall, it was an amazing 8 day stay that I highly recommend and it was definitely not the last time we were there [we will visit]." It is indeed easy to rent a car for a day or a few days as there are two car hire companies in Almyrida. Also, for those who do not want to drive but wish a larger choice of food, it is easy to get a taxi to the supermarket in nearby Kalyves.
