Giorgi's Blue Apartments

We stayed at Giorgi"s Blue Apartments (GBA) for 6 nights. GBA is a small complex of 19 apartments on the coast at Kalathas, north east of Chania. GBA is only 15 mins drive from Chania airport. There is a good sized swimming pool, but for our purposes, even more appealingly a small cove with steps down into the sea for swimming. The apartments are arranged around a small courtyard and all except one has a balcony. They have self catering facilities and bathrooms with showers with loads of hot water. Staying at GBA is on B&B basis, but you can get simple food from the poolside bar (Greek salad and sandwiches) and food delivery is offered. The breakfast at GBA is a highlight. There is a fresh orange juice machine and a wide choice of other fresh food. We did not hire a car, but got the local bus into Chania on 3 days and spent 3 days relaxing at GBA. The bus stop is at most a 10 min walk from GBA and takes you right into the heart of Chania. The busses are air-conditioned coaches, so very comfortable and the journey is about 25 mins. We arrived in Chania each time feeling ready to sightsee. Returning to GBA after each day of sightseeing was a delight, it is a haven of peace and tranquility. The busses could have been more frequent but we managed to make it work by eating late lunches in Chania before catching a 6pm bus back to GBA. The staff at GBA are really helpful. Annelies is a mine of useful information and could not have done more for us.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at GBA! Our room was spacious and clean, and we had a lovely view of the sunset from the room! We enjoyed our outside porch at night, being able to watch the stars. The fact that we had a lovely pool/ pool bar and access to the sea onsite was what made our experience extra special! We could pop into the sea so easily, and the little nook that it was in was calm and inviting. Annalise at the reception desk was so friendly and welcoming! She made quite a few recommendations for eateries and things to do around the island. She kindly called and made our booking with a local company where we could rent a boat and drive it to remote beaches on the island. Breakfasts were plentiful, and we enjoyed eating it poolside. Thanks to all of the staff at GBA for making our stay so enjoyable!

I often worry about the lottery that is Greek Accommodation. Never again! The BEST complex around Chania Crete was stumbled upon by accident. Beautifully presented, magically located, professionally run, clean to a fault and safe beyond reproach, GBA is where you'll return to time and again. And no neighbours! Sustainability-wise, we walked on blistering hot days, not needing car hire. This place doesn’t need to advertise; read the reviews. I will be back!
