Welcome to Blue Beach villas & apartments
First thing in the morning, when you are admiring the view from
your balcony, the sea is a sparkling silvery blue. By mid-day, when you are
swimming in the crystal clear waters, which lap the pretty little beach, the
sea is a rich translucent turquoise. By early evening, as you sip your drink
and watch the sun go down, the sea is a deep, moody blue. These constantly
changing colors were the inspiration behind the name for the collection of
apartments called Blue Beach.
LOCATION
Blue Beach is on the north west of the Akrotiri peninsula of Crete, where
the Mediterranean meets the Ionian Sea. The scenery here is so spectacular that
it was used as the location for filming "Zorba the Greek". Today, it
is still wonderfully unspoiled; an area of natural beauty and tranquility, yet
only nine miles from Chania pronounced, and sometimes spelt Hania) and the beautiful
old Venetian port. You can catch a bus into Chania or, if you prefer, Manolis,
your host, offers excellent rates for car hire, so that you can explore the
beauty of Crete yourself.
ACCOMODATION
The spotless, well appointed, villas and apartments
(recommended by "Rough Guide to Crete"),which can accommodate 2 to 6 people,
come complete with private bathrooms, kitchenettes and balconies with wonderful
view. The villas and apartments vary in style and location; all are within
two minutes from the beach and provide clean
attractive accommodation.
Blue Beach has a swimming pool and a taverna
with a bar with a great panoramic view to the beach and to the impressive
mountains across. There you can enjoy your breakfast, lunch or dinner and
taste a sumptuous selection of home cooked traditional local dishes or just
enjoy a drink under the stars watching the sun setting over the bay.
FACILITIES
Blue Beach has also a mini shop and a range of facilities
such as windsurfing, diving and water-skiing.
Best of all it has a sheltered, sandy beach just a second
stroll from your apartment.
It is also perfect and safe for children, fully equipped
with sunbeds and umbrellas and excellent for water sports.
There is a regular bus service from Blue Beach to the centre
of Chania and vice versa.
Bus schedules vary in frequency depending on the season.
But the real charm of Blue Beach is the friendliness
and true Cretan hospitality of Manolis and his staff. No matter how long your
holiday, it will seem too short - and Blue Beach is a place you ' ll. come
back to again and again. At Blue Beach you' can learn about the places of
interest worth visiting and we can arrange excursions (to Samaria Gorge, Knossos
etc).
Blue Beach is an ideal location for wheelchair users
and disabled travellers, with some especially suitable apartments.
But you may find Blue Beach so relaxing that you never want to move.
