This was a real find - our hosts Maria and Giorgos (Konstantinas parents, who own the place) were super friendly and considerate, also (and especially) with our little son. The aparment is very clean (gets cleaned daily) and cozy, with a fantastic view from the varanda - we had breakfast every day with a look of the mountain ranges and the sea and there's a lemon tree in the front that provides some shade. The premises are also great, with a nice garden with sun loungers and a playground. We had dinner at their in-house taverna twice and the food was great (they cook with bio olive oil from their own plantations...)!
Maria and Giorgos gave us good tips about beaches and places to visit and even lent us beach toys and a parasol. For small kids I warmly recommend the beach "next door": Damnoni beach - you can 15-minutes walk there or just hop by car. It's beatiful and has calm, shallow water and relatively fine sand (a lot of beachs on Kreta have pebble sand) and a couple (not to many!) really nice tavernas to eat out after the beach. Kourtaliotiko Gorge is another must-visit close by, among others, there's really a lot to see.
This was our first visit to Crete and we're allready missing the place and hope to return some day.
