We rented the place for a week and simply enjoyed every minute. lying on the veranda, swimming in the sea just a few steps away and enjoying good food in the restaurant Rokos around the corner ... what more could you want from life. Can highly recommend the place!

C'est exactement comme sur les photos. Calme, idéalement située en bord de plage. Un accueil très sympa des propriétaires.

Magnifique maison, merveilleusement bien située près de la plage. L’appartement est petit mais très confortable, avec une terrasse exceptionnelle. Les petits déjeuner face à la mer valent a eux seuls le déplacement. Il y a de nombreuses activités et restaurants sympa à proximité. Alexandra est une hôte très agréable et serviable, nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

It’s a lovely apartment with everything one needs. Even with a 1 1/2 year old we felt very comfortable and the sandy beach was the best play ground... the couple have been perfect hosts and their restaurant offered delicious food and friendliness all over. We loved it!!!!!!!

Casa Marathi was a great place to stay and the proximity to the beach and Rokos restaurant was ideal. The house had everything that one could need: the beds were especially comfortable!

Incredible location...we felt so spoiled having the convenience of stepping out of our large covered deck at Casa Marathi into the beautiful calm sea. Hosts were wonderful and own the closest restaurant (Rokos) on the beach. They will also deliver fresh cooked food to your place if requested! The beach bungalow was tastefully decorated and very clean. Several other restaurants within walking distance as well. We didn’t want to leave and would love to come back and stay again.

Une maisonnette d'exception avec une ambiance de calme et de sérénité pourtant à proximité immediate de la plage et d'un bar restaurant très sympa. Dans la maisonnette, dans le jardin et sur sa fabuleuse terrace tout est pensé pour ajouter à la superbe du lieu. La mer peu profonde et limpide est parfaite pour les bébés. Akrotiri a également de belles surprises à offrir (agia triada, moni katholiko, seitan limania, ...). De plus c'est un excellent point de chute pour visiter chania, balos, elafonisi, et toute la moitié ouest de la crête. Parfait pour un couple ou un couple avec un enfant. Au delà c'est un peu petit mais ça reste une superbe maisonnette. Et les personnes très sympathiques !

Casa Marathi is a wonderful place to stay: The lovely small beach just in front of the house and a huge balcony with an amazing sea few. Inside the house you get everything you need.

Stunning location with the beach on your doorstep and mountain views in the distance.
We visited in early May and so the place was very quiet during the week with only one taverna open in the evening. This suited us fine as we enjoyed having the peace and quiet. It was much busier at the weekend.
The outdoor space was a lovely place to relax in the evening.
The kitchen is, however, very small and so is only really suitable for preparing very simple meals.
Alex was a great host and quickly sorted out a minor issue with the internet.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider returning.

Words cannot fully describe what a wonderful location this home truly is. In marketing as the saying goes, it’s all about “location, location, location.” House was spotless and clean, and Alexandra was without a doubt a SUPERHOST. Chania was within 15-20 minutes drive, coffee shops within 5-10 minute drive. The beach restaurants were only open on the weekend due to time of year we went but was hopping with activity. We look forward to visiting again soon. If your super adventurous than take a drive to Balo Lagoons, about 1hour 45 minute drive.

A spectacular house and location. We had a very enjoyable stay at Alexandra's place with our 2 year old daughter. The house itself is charming, beautifully presented and comes with everything you need. Marathi beach itself is calm, sheltered and perfect for children, with a lovely beach-side taverna within easy reach. The owners were helpful but allowed us space. Highly recommended - a great place to relax.

A perfect beach vacation house! The apartment was lovely! It was very clean and fresh and simply and tastefully decorated. It had all the amenities,- kitchen was stocked well with nice quality pots, pans plates etc. linens were nice and fresh. There were several tavernas and restaurants to sample down the beach which was fun and convenient.
The situation of the house directly on the water was absolutely fantastic! The lovely sea breeze blew through the windows. The veranda with the hammock was a joy to relax on, and the view of the water and the beach right at our doorstep was a constant amazement! We will never forget those magical morning swims!

The pictures for Unit 1 are 100 % accurate. The place it's appropriate for a family of four. The beach its only 5 steps down from your outdoor seating area which its a rare find specially with the amenities provided at this location. The outdoor seating area its a great place to have your meals after a long day at the beach; however, there several restaurants within walking distance if you prefer to eat out. (I liked Roko's as they had great tasting food and reasonable prices). There is a mini market which is open seven days within 15 driving minutes from the Studio where you can get just about anything you need. Additionally, there are many beaches around this area if you want to explored more than one beach like we did and old town Chania its only 27 driving minutes away. The best part its the tranquility that this property offers, If you want to have some relaxing time with a beach front view, then this property perfect for you.
Thanks Alexandra and Chrysa for your hospitality. My family and I had a fantastic experience. Gianni was also very attentive.
