Demeliza Apartments, in Plaka, Chania

Built at the entrance of the picturesque Cretan village of Plaka, 800 meters away from Almyrida Beach and 23 kilometeres from the vibrant city of Chania, lie Demeliza Apts..

This was one of the first two small hotels in Plaka back in the 70’s, owned by my Granny Maria. The building boasts the class, simplicity and the spacious rooms reminiscent of the ‘’good old times’’.

Closed for many years, after my grandmother had passed away, I have now decided, as her only grandchild named after her, to renovate it and put it back to business. Its renovation has preserved its original classic style with simple lines and décor, whilst enhancing the hotel with all the basic modern facilities such as wifi, satellite tv, a/c .

Demeliza blends harmoniously with the sea and mountain views without short-changing any of nature’s beauty. Cozy, hospitable, fully furnished, with fully equipped living rooms and kitchens, it offers you a selection of 4 different Self Catering apartment types to choose from, according to your needs: 2 bedrooms with 2 baths, 1 bedroom, Studio and Superior Studio.

I am at your disposal for any information or queries you may have.

CHANIA, OUR REGION

Chania managed to preserve its original colors and historical character

The city of Chania can be divided into two parts: the old town and the modern city which is the larger one. The old town is situated next to the old harbour and is the matrix around which the whole urban area was developed.
The atmosphere has a touch of Florence and Venice (a few years ago when those cities still had some room to walk), combined with the culture and character of Cretan people and traditions.
The Chania harbour is wonderful and at any particular time of day the light produces a different result, creating a "different place".
This is the best chance to see some of the old buildings - of Venetian and Turkish design, that Crete once had across the island - many It used to be surrounded by the old Venetian fortifications that started to be built in 1538; of them the eastern and western parts have survived.
From the south, the old town is continuous with the new, and from the north the physical border is the sea. The centre of the modern city is the area extending next to the old town and especially towards the south.

APOKORONAS, OUR HOMETOWN

Extends from the foothills of the White Mountains north to the coast

Apokoronas is a municipality and a former province (επαρχία) in Chania regional unit, north-west Crete, Greece. It is situated on the north coast of Crete, to the east of Chania itself. The seat of the municipality is the village Vryses.
The Apokoronas extends from the foothills of the White Mountains north to the coast, in a wide plain with rolling hills. To the east, Cape Drapanon rises above the plain and extends out into the Sea of Crete. The area is very green and fertile, unusual for rocky Crete.
This city may have been located near modern Nipos, or on the site of the Venetian fortress, Castel Apicorono, on an outcrop between Kalyves and Almyrida.
The major towns of Apokoronas are Vamos, Armenoi and Vryses, with police, municipal and utility offices as well as taverns and large churches;

PLAKA, OUR VILLAGE

One of the best-known and most traditional villages in West Crete

Plaka is a friendly little village, set out in a horseshoe shape on the hillside, with an excellent view of Almyrida and of course Souda Bay and the azure Sea of Crete.
The village is green with plants and largely preserves its lovely natural environment, as it is set on the slopes of Mount Drapanokefala with its verdant, varied vegetation. You can see olive and plane trees, low scrub and even organic farms, which do not detract from the charm of the area.
Plaka has about 400 permanent inhabitants, half of whom are foreigners, mainly British. The village largely preserves its traditional character, although the locals will tell you that recent building has meant it is beginning to lose its distinctive atmosphere.
Plaka has a lovely main square which is the focal point of the village. This is where locals and visitors alike meet in the cafeterias and taverns.
