The place is actually much better than the photos show, there’s another big window to the balcony so you have a panoramic view and it seemed bigger to me irl than in the photos. It’s sparkling clean, very cosy and has everything you might need.
Kostis and Katerina were very welcoming, answered all our questions and gave tips.
The location is nice - it’s much easier if you drive a car - 5 min to Agios Nikolaos and Elounda, easy and fast access to many beaches around.
We don’t drive, but it was fine too - there is a bus stop near the flat with buses running hourly between the two towns (€3,60), or if you like walking it will be just 20 min walk to the beach and 30 min from, I am 6 months pregnant and it was fine for me. There are no shops in walking distance (only a very small and expensive one on the premises of Candia Park Village), but there is a really nice taverna with cheap and tasty simple local food just 5 min walk from the place (towards Elounda).
It can get a bit noisy later in the morning because of the cars, but if you’re from a big city as we are, it’s nothing, you will enjoy the silence anyway:)
The view - I just can’t come up with a proper word to describe it.
We didn’t want to leave and would really love to come back may be even in winter - there’s a fire place!
So highly recommend!
