Elia Erato is a beautiful two-story apartment right on the port in Chania! The views from the balcony are absolutely breathtaking. There are bathrooms on both floors, and the downstairs bathroom even offers a lovely view of the port and lighthouse. We especially loved the downstairs shower — it includes a built-in sauna, which was a fantastic bonus. The location in the heart of the Old Town Port is incredibly convenient for exploring, though it can be tricky to find parking if you have a rental car. Overall, it’s a stunning apartment with an unbeatable location and unique features we really enjoyed!

Property was in a great spot, within walking distance for many places!!! They arranged our transportation when requested. Very comfy beds, fantastic shower!!! Only issue was jack hammering all day across the street, so very noisy at this time so may want to ask if it was completed before you book.
