We had a nice time at Maria's place and Maria is a great host. I just want to clarify some reviews that seems a bit misleading. The apartment is part of a small house with 2 other apartments. These other apartments seem not used so de facto one is alone. We also had the impression that they are also of different owners (but we could be wrong) since the outside garden does not appear to be well kept as Maria's space. The terrace space is nice. The apartment is super well stocked maybe a bit too much so that very little space is left to one's things. The value proposition for the apartment is great. In Zakros (15 min away) there are small supermarkets but we would strongly recommend before coming to do a big grocery at a big supermarket with many choices of especially for fruits and veggies (Maria's gift of grapes and apples was helpful in this regard and tasty!). We found the restaurant in the village not particularly good.
