Find mountain rentals near Chiona Beach

We very much enjoyed our stay. The property is a short drive from Sitia. An auto is recommended. There is a scheduled bus service though we did not use it. The photos of the property were very accurate, though the property is even more attractive than the photos can communicate. Located in a small olive grove with attractive landscaping. There is a small vineyard planted near the Northwest Patio. A lovely view of flowers, palm trees throughout the property. The Southeast patio was sheltered and very comfortable. We were there in March and so the weather was comfortable 17C or 18C during the day and 12C in the evening. The "Jasmine" cottage is very comfortable, well furnished and with a well-equipped kitchen. There was a functioning fireplace and on a couple of the cooler evenings we enjoyed a lovely fire. There were heat pump/air con units and so the interior temperature was always comfortable. The main bedroom had good storage closets and the bed and bedding was comfortable. Our hosts were very thoughtful helpful and generous. We enjoyed having them as "neighbours" as they live nearby. Sitia has many restaurants and cafes on and near the waterfront (some were closed due to the season but there were sufficient open) and we found it to be a welcoming town with a pleasant weekly farmers market and good selection of grocery stores and other commercial businesses. There are lots of interesting hikes inland and near the ocean close by and very accessible if you have an automobile. Unhappily we had to leave Crete after 2 1/2 weeks due to our home country elevating the Health Risk level to "3" due to Covid19 virus pandemic and recommended all Canadians return.
