“Monte Vardia possesses a special tranquility, perched as it is on a hillside overlooking the sea near Chania. It's the kind of family-run place where the staff remembers your name and anticipates your needs. I think its proximity to both the airport and the town center makes it a compelling choice for those looking to explore Crete without sacrificing peace and quiet.”
