Crete

Crete is the largest Greek island and the 5th largest in the Mediterranean Sea. It is here where the western couture was born and flourished. The numerous archeological findings of the Minoan era are certifying this.

This blessed place gives the visitor the chance to evolve, either through cultural and entertaining activities or by discovering the Cretan wild nature by hiking and trekking, especially in the western part of the island.

West –Crete is shaped by its “Lefka Ori” mountain range, which consists of 58 peaks that extend over 2000m. This mountain landscape is dominated by innumerable gorges that reach the Libyan Sea. The most known is the “Samaria” gorge, that is also the longest and deepest in Europe.


The most poetic city of Crete leaves you with a pleasant taste of beauty when you walk through. Built on the ruins of ancient Cydonia has seen and survived many invaders, but has also tasted civilizations and their marks on building faces, castles, walls, antiquities, monasteries and churches

The city has two entrances: the airport of Akrotiri, and the port of Souda (the largest in the Mediterranean). Dominant position in the center holds the municipal market, a brilliant cross-shaped building which was completed in 1913, and in proportion of Marseille.

In walking distance from the center of the city awaits the Public Garden and adjacent to the Park of Peace and Friendship between peoples. The gardens are the prettiest in Crete, and also the public garden has a small zoo with animals from Cretan fauna.

The Venetian port picturesque any time and season is attractive to visitors and locals, both for its beauty and for the choices of entertainment for all tastes and demands. The old city 'intramural' districts preserve their Venetian nobility. Narrow paved alleys are surrounded with tasteful renewed houses of various ages, are offered for a pleasant stroll. Many neoclassic houses are also saved in districts which 'neighbor' with the city of Chania, like Halepa.

A great place to stay and explore from
It was our first time in Crete so we were slightly apprehensive as to what to expect. We arrived very late at night due to the flight and had worried we wouldn't find the apartment or there wouldn't be anyone around to let us in but our fears were allayed after calling Xristina directly on arrival at the airport. She was up and waiting for us with a big smile and it was easy to find the apartment. Photos can often be misleading on websites but the apartment actually exceeded expectation. It was very clean, reasonably modern with sparse decor and well equipped. We had a family of 5 staying. The two bedrooms have 1 double and two single beds between them. One of our sons slept on the sofa bed for two weeks which may not be to everyone's liking but it was fine for him and us. Our use of the apartment was mixed in terms of sometimes self-catering and the kitchen was fine for this with a nice space to sit and eat plus we often sat up on the roof garden which was lovely to do. We also used the apartment very much as a base explore some of the lesser known areas of this western side of Crete. We can thoroughly recommend Rethymno and Chania old towns plus travelling down to Agia Galini and other southern and western coastal areas for a flavour of where the locals go to the beach. Also try and take in at least one of the stunning gorges on your travels! The beach is pebbled until out into the ocean so wear shoes and is generally very clean in the water although one day it seemed to cloud up a bit but then self-cleaned itself! There are plenty of sandy beaches within a 30-60 mins drive though if you want that. There is also a 5 star hotel in the town that didn't seem to mind us occasionally using the amazing glass sided pool if we had a couple of drinks. The restaurant downstairs was fine with modern takes on Greek, Cretan and other foods and of course the seafood is fresh and delicious. There is a strip of restaurants along the front that all offer good food and atmospheres at a reasonable cost. We were worried, being British, that the cost would seem high what with Brexit etc but it was pretty competitive with anywhere else we have stayed in Europe, if not a little cheaper. All in all a brilliant first time in Crete. The local population are very friendly and helpful and Xristina was very generous with us and was always on hand to help if needed but kept a respectful distance otherwise

Extremely happy with our accommodation and stay in Kolymbari
We had a wonderful 10 days staying in Xristina's apartment. Xristina was very welcoming and always available for any questions about the area. We often popped into the restaurant (En Elladi which has excellent food and a lovely atmosphere) where we were assured of a warm welcome by the whole family. The accommodation was clean, spacious and very comfortable. It completely met our needs and was quiet on an evening. Our apartment had the mountain views and was very sunny in the afternoons and evenings. The real bonus was the roof top and sun terrace with the magnificent views of the coastline where we ate our breakfast every morning. The apartment is located immediately on the seafront with easy access to the beach and sea which meant we could take a quick dip in the sea whenever we felt like it. It was an easy walk to the supermarket and to a fantastic bakery which Xristina recommended. The immediate area is very attractive with a small fishing harbour, good restaurants and a short walk to a nearby monastery. Kolymbari was an excellent base as we were able to use the public bus service to go east to Chania, and west to Falasarna. We took a boat trip (Eva Cruises) from the local harbour to Menies Beach for swimming and snorkelling which was great fun. All in all, we had a fantastic holiday made all the better for the Cretan hospitality and good food. Thank you, Kristina for making our holiday so special. We will definitely return soon.

2 Week Summer Holiday
We have just spent a family 2 week holiday in Crete and stayed at the Xristina apartments. It was perfect! We had the sea view apartment and had a wonderful time. The apartment was clean, well sized and had a wonderful sea view. Xristina and her husband were available if needed and often dropped products from their farm. The location of the apartment was ideal and we will definitely be staying here again. This holiday was our 7th year visiting Crete and we found the location and apartment perfect for what we wanted from the holiday. Excellent holiday, excellent apartment, excellent location.

Wonderful apartment!
We were 4 friends, we had the apartment with mountain view for 2 weeks. It was an amazing stay! The apartment was clean and the pictures aren't the real apartment, it's prettier than these pictures. The rooftop is just amazing with a view I can't describe! We only can say: "see you, Xristina". Xristina was a perfect host. As we arrive she invited us to drink a cold orange juice with a few snacks. After that she showed us the apartment (see the top). Every four or five days we got new towels and a woman was there who clean the apartment and the rooftop! Just a great stay!
