Xenia's apartment, Ayiá

Xenia's apartment is a quiet, well-regarded base in Ayiá, Greece, set on Ηρακλή Αυγουλα κάτω Δαράτσο and suited to travelers who want beach time without giving up comfort. With a guest rating of 9.5/10 from 11 reviews, the standout theme is calm: people mention returning to a peaceful place after time on the coast, and they appreciate the soundproofing that helps you sleep well. The apartment is air-conditioned for warm days, and the terrace gives you a simple outdoor spot to reset between outings. For those who work while traveling, free wired internet is available, and the non-smoking setup supports a fresher indoor feel. If you’re traveling with a pet, pets are allowed, which is a practical advantage for longer stays. Parking is handled with care too, with covered parking on site and self parking available for a surcharge; offsite parking is also offered at discounted rates. The Japanese garden adds a distinctive touch for guests who prefer a slower pace, especially in the late afternoon.

In terms of location, you’re close to the shoreline, with Glaros Beach about 100 meters away, making spontaneous swims and early walks easy. Kalamaki Beach is roughly 2 km from the apartment, and central Chania sights such as the Venetian Harbor and the Archaeological Museum of Chania are around 4–5 km, depending on your route. This is best for couples, solo explorers, and small groups who want a low-key neighborhood, reliable comfort, and straightforward access to both beach and city highlights.
