Balito Apartments

Lovely apartment on 2nd floor with sea view from window and balcony. Very clean. Free air con and safe. Kitchen facilities basic but adequate for cooking breakfast, there was a kettle fridge, 2 cooking rings and a microwave. Good shower in bathroom. Bed was a little hard. Lovely pool and there was a pool bar. Balito is in a very quiet area. 2 traditional restaurants just up the road in the village and a couple of supermarkets and a bakery. There is a bus stop right outside the apartment which goes to Chania and the beaches. You can walk from the apartment to Kalamaki beach in about 12 minutes but it is by a busy road, there are lots of restaurants and bars here. We preferred to go to the beach at Apostoli which was beautiful and had a fabulous beach bar. There are also some lovely restaurants and bars here. Really recommend this area and apartment.

Very nice location, and perfect to explore the eastern part of Crete with its beautiful beaches, we hired a car. Apartments are comfortable and clean. George is a very nice, easygoing and helpful! The swimming pool that can be used day and night is really relaxed and refreshing. Balito was the perfect accommodation for us, thanks!

Our family stayed at Balito hotel for one week in july 23. Although the hotel is a bit outside the mainstream tourism,  we can strongly recommend this place. It's quiet surroundings, but not far to Chania (bus leaves just outside the hotel every hour ) and its easy to reach a bus from Kalamaki to Platanias (about 15 min. walk from the hotel.) The service and the flexibility among the employers are very accommodating. The owner George was very helpfull, polite and took very good care of us. Our apartment in the second floor gave us spectacular view to both the sea and the mountains. The big balcony gave the family a lot of extra space. There is a pool area at the hotel which can be used at all times. It's about 800 meters down to the Beach, restaurants, and shops. There is also a very good local restaurant called Elia just 300 meters from the hotel. The bathroom is recently refresheed. There is a fridge and some kitchen equipment, but it is not designed for a propper meal. The hotel offers also breakfast for an extra charge. Summary: For a very reasonable price we had a very nice stay with good service, great hospitality and good faciilities.

Un grand merci à Georges pour son accueil exceptionnel, son sourire et sa bonne humeur communicative, nous y sommes resté 1 semaine avec un cadre très agréable, proche d’un arrêt de bus et à 10min de la plage. Nous avons eu un retard de vol de +6h sur notre retour, Georges à accepter de nous accueillir une nuit de plus à la dernière minute avec bienveillance. Il se rend toujours disponible et répond rapidement pour toutes questions. Un petit clin d’œil à sa maman qui nous a préparé de délicieux sandwich club revisité. Nous y retournerons les yeux fermés
