Enjoy Greek village life with a stay in Chorafakia. This small resort on the island of Crete is just a couple of miles from the famous beach at Stavros with its huge rock shelf, and sun worshippers can take their pick from the other sandy beaches even nearer at Tersanas and Kalathas. Laid-back days in Chorafakia can be spent soaking up the rays, feasting on Greek fare like moussaka at the local tavernas, and people watching with a drink in hand. When a livelier atmosphere beckons, hop on the bus to Chania, just 12km away, or for an even more peaceful day visit the monasteries and churches of the Akrotiri Peninsula, like Gouverneto (Lady of the Angels) and Katholiko (Agios Ioannis the Hermit).
Renting holiday apartments in Chorafakia
When you choose apartments in Chorafakia you’re giving yourself the chance to enjoy home from home comforts during your holiday in Greece. As you’ll have a kitchen, you’ll be able to prepare the food you want to eat and dine whenever you feel like it, rather than have to follow hotel dining schedules or pick off a menu that might not suit your tastes. Chorafakia apartments also give you greater privacy and flexibility than hotels. If you’re booking this kind of holiday accommodation for a family or group, you’ll be able to share the sociable space rather than be separated amongst multiple hotel rooms.
