42 m² Villa with One Bedrooms for Rent in Maleme, Platanias

About this property

A residence now available to rent in Maleme, in the wider area of Chania. It comprises about 42 m² of living space, one bedroom and one bathroom. It is offered furnished. Weekly street markets, family-run tavernas and small producers keep daily shopping personal and remarkably good value.

For families, the area offers schools, playgrounds and a safe, community-minded environment where neighbours still know each other. Remote working is well supported, with fibre connections reaching most of the area and cafés happy to host a laptop for a morning. Chania is widely considered the most beautiful prefecture of Crete, famous for its Venetian harbour town, exotic beaches such as Balos, Elafonissi and Falassarna, and the dramatic White Mountains. Life in the Chania countryside moves at the unhurried pace of olive groves and village kafeneia, yet the city's restaurants, schools and hospital are within easy reach.

The south coast of the prefecture hides some of the most unspoilt beaches in Greece, reachable through gorges and coastal paths. The area enjoys a long season from April to November, an international airport with direct flights across Europe, and a well-established market for holiday rentals. The old town of Chania, with its lighthouse and harbour front, is one of the most photographed spots in the Mediterranean. Well-presented rentals in this area are taken quickly, so an early viewing is recommended.

The rental terms are straightforward, and our team can assist with the contract, utilities transfer and everything needed for a smooth move-in.
