"Zorbas Hotel Beach Village is a little gem which lies on the beautiful part of the Akrotiri peninsula in Chania, unspoilt natural area with stunning views of the Cretan Sea and the unforgettable sunsets and located ideally right on a sandy beach of private land. Approximately 30 minutes from the centre of Chania, you enter a location which is peaceful, picturesque a serene setting but well worth a stay in these attractive single storey apartments. Most of the units are well proportionate, beds are of a good size, mattresses and pillows are comfortable and clean, well designed with gardens, paths, secluded sitting areas and BBQ leading to a wonderful pool area which is extremely clean and comfortable sunbeds and pool bar. The pool is split suitable for children and adults. The units are so fully equipped for self catering – I was impressed - unbelievable! There was also a BBQ/patio outside our unit, but BBQ had not been cleaned from previous user and that was the only negative! This however will not deter me from returning to Zorbas in the future.
If you wish a rest from self catering then they do provide a free ‘Take Away Service’ from a local Taverna, providing local home made food – from local Taverna - “Yiasemi” – which is delicious. A walk to the taverna itself is probably a good 30 minutes and is located east towards Zorba/Gold Coast Beach. We had lunch here and was superb. Other Restaurants here as well, very popular but we didn’t have time to savour the others.
This is very convenient for those who whish to be close to Chania airport and hiring a car to be delivered - pick up from Zorbas Hotel Beach Village was so easy – seamless. Highly recommended. It's also a very chill out location for a 2 week stay for families with young children and those who want tranquility. It appears extremely safe for young families.
My only wish would be to have a restaurant on sight to savour that glorious mesmerizing sunset. Years ago, there was a wonderful taverna next door, wonderful views over the sea and sunset, no longer there sadly. I still rate this as a favourite."
