Flat for rent - Коракиес

Our appartment is in Akrotiri and is 15 minutes away from the sea,the city of Chania, the airport, the port and the National road. Perfect for alternative, family and couple vacation, while the small distance from the cosmopolitan city, makes it perfect for a group of friends as well. A compeletely equiped, sunny appartment, part of a bigger house in a private area of four acres which communicates with nature, offers joy, peace and quite, as well as a wonderful view.
The building is secluded on top of a rock, and the apartment is right under the house where our family lives, in a private area of 4 acres full of olive and other trees, shrubs, herbs and wildflowers of the local flora. Located at the base of the building, on a sloping hillside rock facing Souda Bay. To reach the apartment, we go through a private small street 70 meters long that leads to a spacious parking lot where we can see the staircase that leads to the balcony, surrounded by blooming, fragrant flowers. The bedroom has a double bed and the living room has two double sofa beds. A traditional treat welcomes you, while the house is equipped with everything including a full household as well as what you may need for your personal care.
We named our property "Garden of Zefyrus" because it accepts the pleasant blow of all winds, sometimes powerful and others soft and relaxing. The apartment is a perfect observating spot of alternation of the seasons, which is located 300 meters above sea level. From the windows and balcony you can enjoy a beautiful view to the east, south and west, which includes the sea of Souda Bay and the White Mountains which have snowed peaks most of the time. All around, the rustling of trees, the tweets of birds and the hum of cicadas are heard.

There is a shared parking and a big yard. At the eastern side of the property, right after you pass through the white - fenced frontyard, there is a natural rock garden, which is organised as a herb garden, partly shaded by pine trees. There, you can spend some time soaking in the garden and learning from the owner the uses and qualities of Cretan herbs. You can also explore the farm with olive trees and you can use (after discussion) the BBQ.
We are a four member urban family, we live in the same building. You may not have any contact or you may hang out with us on our free time and participate in our most enjoyable activities. You can meet us at the parking lot or in our yard and exchange a "hello". But you may call us if you need anything (respecting quiet hours) including information or suggestions for your excursions in Chania, since we are experts in tourist information about Chania Prefecture.

Our neighborhood consists of houses which are inhabitted by families, in areas of 4 acres full of olive trees. The place where we are located (Akrotiri), is well known for its exceptional climate, its magical beaches, the change of sceneries,and some of the most important religious monuments of Crete.
Our neighborhood is connected by bus to the city of Chania, which leaves every one hour and the bus stop is a 15 minute walk from our house. Between the house and the airport, there are dozens of Car rentals, but we also can find you bicycles to rent near by. We are connected to Chania, Souda port, the airport and highway that communicates with the rest of Crete, by two roads 5-7 km. You need 10 minutes to get to the airport by car, 15-25 minutes to Chania, depending on the traffic and about 15 minutes to Souda port.
Guests can, if they wish, settle without our presence. You will find the keys in a special keychain with a combination.

FAQ
What happens after I make a reservation?

Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.

Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.

While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.

If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.

In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!

If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the landlord can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.

You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.

How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?

How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.

Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!

However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.

Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
