The luxury of paying less on accommodation and spending more on fun, while visiting western Crete on a budget. Has your job gone remote? Summer Lodge welcomes digital nomads who want to get away from the city hustle-bustle and ... get any work or project done by using their own laptop. In each room a comfortable chair & folding table set-up is provided to each workationer, while by our garden a common workspace with reliable Wi-Fi connection can be found. Conveniently located on the edge of the historical seaside village of Maleme, Summer Lodge, an attractive, family run vacation lodging is a fine example of traditional Greek architecture. Just 5 Kms away from the centre of Platanias and 17 Kms west of Chania, is the ideal starting point for the visitors requiring a wide variety of sandy beaches, water sport activities, peaceful countryside walks, or interesting visits in archaeological and historical sites. With the tremendous advantage of being no more than 400 meters by footpath to the long, quiet beach of Maleme, mostly sandy but also pebbly and a number of nearby taverns, as well as a supermarket and other shops, the situation couldn't be more convenient and car hire is not essential, since public bus service is frequent. The superb 10m x 5m pool is surrounded by sun terraces and is supplied with patio furniture and sun lounges.
