Nestled in the quiet coastal neighborhood of Daratso, Petra Retreat Residence is part of a lovingly restored complex of historic homes. Once Turkish residences, these houses hold a special place in local heritage--complete with a preserved stone cistern and a history that includes an imam who once lived in the area. Today, Petra Retreat welcomes guests into a peaceful, comfortable setting with touches of the past woven into every corner. This 70m2 residence is designed with ease and relaxation in mind. It features two cozy bedrooms with double beds (160cm x 200cm), one bathroom with a walk-in shower, and full soundproofing throughout for quiet evenings and restful sleep. The space is equipped with air conditioning in all rooms, blackout curtains, insect screens, and two 42 TVs. High-speed Starlink internet ensures a strong connection for work or entertainment. The kitchen is fully stocked for preparing meals, with a stovetop, microwave, cooking utensils, pots, dishes, and even wine glasses for unwinding in the evening. The home includes a washing machine, iron and ironing board, drying rack, and pool towels. Guests are greeted with a thoughtful welcome including local packaged treats, bottled water, and wine. Ideal for couples, friends, or a small family, the residence also provides a baby crib upon request. Step outside and discover one of Petra Retreats most cherished features: the private pool, measuring 3.5 x 6 meters and 1.5 meters deep. Framed by stone and surrounded by open sky and glimpses of the sea, it invites you to begin the day with a refreshing swim or end it floating under the stars. Whether youre soaking in the sun on a quiet afternoon or taking a cooling dip after returning from the beach, the pool becomes a natural gathering point--a quiet sanctuary thats yours alone. Petra Retreat Residence is located just a short driving distance from the beautiful beach of Agioi Apostoloi--one of the most popular beaches near Chania, known for its calm waters and golden sand. The neighborhood surrounding the property combines convenience with a peaceful setting: a mini market and local restaurant are just 100 meters away, and the local bus stop (with direct service to Chania town) is right beneath the house. Larger supermarkets, cafes, and beach bars are all easily accessible, while Chanias Old Town is only a short drive or bus ride away. This is a place to truly unwind--a base with character and comfort, where every element, from the thoughtfully designed interiors to the calming rhythm of your own pool, is designed to help you settle in and feel at home.
