You enter this lovely apartment on a village street and walk through the living areas to a wonderful view two floors up on a the large front terrace. The scene over the bay, islands and beaches extends across the front, with a view to the White Mountains to the South. The sunsets are just amazing!
The accommodation is very spacious and well equipped, providing plenty of room for two couples. It is furnished with traditional Greek furniture and artefacts. The balcony is not screened and could present a concern for families with young children.
Plaka is a fascinating thriving village above the resort of Alyrida. There are many walks around the tiny streets and through olive groves to a rocky cape. There is a good choice of tavernas in the square just 200 metres from the property. Everybody is very welcoming. The hosts, Iannis and his parents, are very friendly and very generous with their hospitality. They are keen to help you have a great stay. There are lovely sandy beaches at Alymirida, with safe swimming and clear blue water.
Migliari made all the arrangements very efficiently providing clear directions from the airport and communicating very efficiently. If we visit Crete again we will be keen to stay here again.
