We enjoyed our stay, together with our two-year old son, who loved the sea and the sand. The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated, with seaview balcony - i loved it :). Beach is only few meters from the apartment, it was never crowded, very comfortable. All around the apartment house was a very pleasant garden. We found lovely beach taverna (called "eleven") in the village, where we ate very often. The rest of the Sfakaki village was a a bit neglected, not really babyfriendly. Therefore, when we wanted to take a walk, we visited Rethymno city. By bus it is about 10 minutes (but better ask Andreas where and when the bus comes).
