Our stay here was wonderful. It is a wonderful quiet place, the view from the table on the cliff is exactly as in the pictures - if not even better. Our apartment had a lovely terrace with a hammock and we were greeted by our host with a cold beer. The internet is not very good, but we enjoyed the chance to relax and spend some time together. Ierapeta and Koutsounari are both very close and have lovely restaurants without the masses of tourists in places like Rethymno or Chania. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for a couple of days, along with on premises parking.
We don’t recommend the walk down the stairs from the cliff, it is very steep and there is no beach at the bottom, only some rocks and it is difficult to get into the sea without water shoes. Take the 10min drive to one of the nice beaches in the area instead. It is also possible - though very hot in summer - to walk to a nearby beach.
