The Echo of the Sea is a small property on the south coast of the Chania region, close to the beach at Frangokastello. The area is one of the quieter parts of the south coast — the castle, the beach and the mountains are within easy reach.

The location
Frangokastello sits on a flat coastal plain between the White Mountains and the Libyan Sea. The Venetian castle is within walking distance. The beach is long, sandy and relatively quiet compared to north coast beaches of the same size.
The nearest village for supplies is Patsianos, about 2 km away. Sfakia is about 15 km to the west. The mountain road to Chania takes about 1 hour 15 minutes.
