This apartment is incredible. We stayed four nights here with our two children, 9 and 7. It is enormous, and the view and terrace above is absolutely stunning. We had our most memorable dinners there, sitting under the vine leaves and ripe red grapes, watching the sun go down over the sea and then set behind the mountains ... the apartment is in the middle of a massive olive forest with the most beautiful green hues leading right up to the deep blue sea on one side and the mountains on the other. A lovely breeze runs through the apartment making it very comfortable both during the day and at night.
Natasa’s family who we met were very friendly and helpful, making us feel completely at home. The private parking space is very useful.
Never walked down to the sea, which would have been about 20 minutes on foot, so I don’t know how easy that would have been, but we comfortably drove down in 3 or 4 minutes. There are some good local Tavernas and mini markets in Drapanias and a few pretty restaurants on the seafront. The location is well placed for day visits to all the most famous beaches in the area and this apartment was definitely the highlight of our stay in Crete.
