Sia is a wonderful host. Extremely welcoming, kind and hospitable. The apartment is gorgeous with amazing views. Wake up early to catch the sunrise, it’s worth it! The apartment is spacious, clean and equipped with everything you need and more. Sia provided a beautiful welcome basket and drinks. She made us feel like we were visiting a relative. She also provided beach towels and lots of other beach equipment. The nearest beach is Golden Beach. Very nice beach with calm water, plenty of beds/umbrellas for 10-15EUR/day. Perfect place to relax and very convenient due to its proximity to Sia’s apartment. Way less crowded than most of the other beaches we went to. This was the best Airbnb experience I’ve had and I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else next time we return to Crete. Highly recommend!
