Hi everyone....
I have done research with help of others ! for our Crete Lodging and have narrowed it down to these 6. Ii have some villas/2 bedroom places that I would love your opinion on. I went for some kind of view, 2 bedroom or bedroom and loft, ..near a village within walking distance even if 10 minutes, i know some are smaller towns
We will have a car.
Chania Town – larger town to walk to - no washing machines
1 )Boutique 66
