About this apartment rental
Newly-renovated Scandinavian-style apartment is the perfect way to experience Chania.
Wake up to the soft sound of the ocean at your front door and experience the true colours of the Cretan sunset in the early evening. This newly-renovated Scandinavian-style apartment is the perfect way to experience Chania while providing you with all the modern comforts during your stay. Sit back and relax on a shared patio area, with the backdrop of the old tannery workshops, and enjoy the sanctuary of a secluded stone beach to bathe and unwind with the sound of nature.
Newly-refurbished one-bedroom studio apartment with a kitchenette/living room that perfectly combines old and new. Walk out onto a tranquil shared patio area and straight into the ocean. Enjoy the ultimate sleeping experience with your very own Coco-mat mattress on a king-sized bed and feel like you are sleeping in the clouds. Enjoy the high-tech features of this apartment with a Smart TV and why not plug in to the sound system that will play through the entire space, including the bathroom. This space is ideal for couples or young families but if you’re looking for something a little roomier then why not try our equally modern Kito apartment, right next door. Or, if you’re a party of 5/6, why not try combining the two apartments (pazzl seaside living) for the ultimate family/friends’ vacation.
Guests have access to the entire apartment, the beach in front, and their own patio with an exterior shower with warm water where they can shower after going to the beach.
Available 24/07
Here on the Beautiful Island of Crete, there are many things to do and see. If you’re planning on renting a car just ask us and we’ll be happy to get you a quote from our partners. If you need a taxi, we can provide you with a taxi number. And, if you’re looking to do an organised tour/ boat trip, then feel free to ask and we can put you in contact with the relevant operators.
Please use beach shoes when going in the water as the rocks can be a little unpredictable.

The Location
Halepa is a very atmospheric region, an architectural monument of the industrial age and has a rich cultural background that’s set deep into Cretan History. Just a stones’ throw from this apartment is the House of Eleftherios Venizelos who was a great political influencer of the early 1900s. At the end of the 19th Century this small neighbourhood was actually a town and there were many wealthy people who lived there. Remnants of this great and colourful past can be seen through the buildings and great houses in this area.
The area of coastline in the region of Halepa is called Tabakaria and it dates back to the Turkish occupation and name meaning Tanneries. This charming area was once full of 80 tanneries in the 1950s but now are all but abandoned. In recent years this area has seen many renovations of these beautiful buildings and are now transformed into homes, holidays lets or hotels, your apartment being one of those buildings. You’ll also find some excellent restaurants and tavernas hidden in this area.
Around the church of Halepa you will find the local bakery, grocer and a small taverna. There is also the local supermarket (SYNKA) 400m walking distance from the apartment or a Lidl 1km away if you have a car. There are also excellent fish tavernas in this area just a short walk/drive from your door.
Halepa is a quiet neighbourhood of Chania, there are good public transport links to this area as its very close to the city centre. A public bus stop is just 100m from this apartment on the main road and it will take you into the centre in less than 15 minutes. If you prefer walking it is an idyllic walk into the centre of the city and will take you around 20-30 minutes. Driving routes from the apartment are well connected and is only a short drive through the city to the national road where there is easy access to all locations around the island.
