Elia Erato is a beautiful two-story apartment right on the port in Chania! The views from the balcony are absolutely breathtaking. There are bathrooms on both floors, and the downstairs bathroom even offers a lovely view of the port and lighthouse. We especially loved the downstairs shower — it includes a built-in sauna, which was a fantastic bonus. The location in the heart of the Old Town Port is incredibly convenient for exploring, though it can be tricky to find parking if you have a rental car. Overall, it’s a stunning apartment with an unbeatable location and unique features we really enjoyed!
