What a wonderful stay!
On arrival we were warmly greeted by Nopi and Manolis and as it was the Greek Easter we were invited to join them for a family lunch. At this point we learned that for a few days most of the shops were closed however we were given plenty of basics to tide us over until we could get to the supermarket.
The apartment itself was beautiful; large, well laid out, a very comfortable bed and a great kitchen. We especially enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace enjoying the beautiful views.
The location for us was perfect as we could drive to most parts of the island with ease. At first we found the roads confusing however after a few days the map finally made sense.
There were plenty of good restaurants in the nearby village, Kastelli, however we enjoyed driving into Heraklion and trying out the amazing bars and restaurants there.
Each morning we were provided with fresh bread and a variety of fresh produce, these varied from eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, fruits etc. and of course there were a variety of homemade jams and marmalade already in the apartment.
Nopi and Manolis were very helpful in giving us advice on where to visit, eat etc. which was very much appreciated and helped us to ensure we visited only the most interesting and suitable sights. We joined them for dinner in a local restaurant one night and had a fun meze meal.
This is a great apartment with wonderful hosts and we would certainly recommend to anyone. We look forward to visiting again.
