We had a great time in Blue Paradise. If you are searching for a calm place to relax and enjoying the sun with the best view of crete, directly on the beach, you have to stay in Christina´s wonderful appartements. We stayed for 17 days with our 1,5 year old daughter and loved it. You can have your breakfast on the terrace in the sun and watch the sea directly in front of your appartement. The pebbly beach is very nice, crystal clear and calm and you can watch beautiful sunrises. The next bigger city is Ierapetra, a 15 min. drive by car which is also quite nice with good restaurants and nice cafés on the promenade.
We would recommend a rental car to explore the area, get to restaurants, other beaches etc.(as it is really quite calm (but nice!!) in Achlia, where the Appartements are located), it´s worth it.
Big thank you to Christina, who is such a lovely host and treated us with selfmade wine, Raki, eggs, olives, pomegranates etc. etc.! You will love it here!
