    “The location could not be beat - close enough to walk to swimming areas and the old town, but far enough away to feel peaceful. Our host made us feel right at home and gave us great tips for places we would have never found otherwise.”

Freshly renovated, we have named this beautiful vintage home "Aristokosmos", from the Greek words "ariston" (excellent) + "kosmos" (world/jewel), conducive to the superlative quality this small, fully detached 19th century home will offer. It meshes perfectly with one of the most picturesque and historical neighborhoods of Chania, the old Tabakaria (Tannery factory) district, which is gradually turning into one of the greatest attractions for the discerning guest to the island. The main entrance leads to a cozy ergonomic ground floor with fireplace, fully equipped kitchenette, a sofa which converts into a semi-double bed, dining table and chairs, smart TV, walk-in shower and toilet, closet, separate laundry-machine area and luggage space under the stone staircase. On the upper floor, the guest is met with the ambience of ceiling beams four meters above a peach pine wooden floor. A double-bed sofa, Smart TV, mini-bar, closet, toilet+shower, a beautifully cozy loft with another semi-double bed and a private sea-view terrace guarantee a most unique experience. No expense has been spared in the decor, quality furnishings, luxury and comfort in this traditional home
Born and raised in Chania, after an Odyssey abroad I returned to my birthplace, which I have always considered to be one of the most beautiful "playgrounds" for anyone who possesses the virility and the imagination to enjoy it to its full potential. With interests varying from extreme sports to music, painting and writing, I am hard pressed for choices of what activity to tackle first on just about every morning I wake in the birthplace of European civilization. My only grievance is that there are not enough hours in a day to do the things one loves in this microcosm of the best that life has to offer. You will know exactly what I mean when we stroll to the seashore with cups of coffee in hand just a few steps from your lodging, where we can summon Poseidon and his mermaids to the sounds of the ancient Greek lyre!
Our neighborhood is not only privileged in being in one of the most picturesque seaside historical locations of the city, the tannery district, but also in not having lost the pulse of its initial function, as it hosts the sole surviving traditional tannery, operating under the strictest sanitary conditions in respect of the touristic development of the region. Ιn fact, it is of such significance that schools and agencies organize field trips to visit it. The neighborhood is one of the quietest in town and boasts immediate, walking-distance access to everything a vacationer needs. Beyond this, the city's most famous (not to mention "most picturesque") sea tavern, "Thalassino Ageri", is located a mere 100 meters from the home, where you can dine literally beside the naturally formed sea pool with the unique view of the city outlined by a horizon that provides one of the most breath-taking sunset views. Apart from the cove right in front of your house, within a short walking distance, you can swim at the famous "Kouloura" swim spot - a picturesque, natural pool encircled by rocks frequented by locals and guests alike.
