7 Olives is a FANTASTIC place to stay if you find yourself in Plaka/Almyrida, Crete. You'd be hard pressed to find a better view, kinder hosts, or more accommodating apartments. It felt like we had our own little home for the 5 days we were there - fridge, oven, little stove, balcony with a view, AC. We rented a car and often took little trips to nearby beaches but the main drag of Almyrida is a short 5 minute walk away (downhill to get there, uphill to get back), and restaurants in Plaka are also really close. The only downside I would list is that the bedroom in our apartment did not get much of the AC, so it got really warm in there and we mostly slept in the main room for that reason. Otherwise, I have no complaints and would stay here again for sure!
