If you want to experience the real cretan life, this is definitely the perfect place for you to stay. If you want all that tourist staff and a little bit luxury - don't stay at this place! In Giwrgos house you'll find everything you need for a two-week-stay, like we did, and even longer. Cretan hospitality has a lot of names, one of them is Giwrgos. He take care about you from the beginning to the end of your trip. You get answers to every question you have, he solves your little problems and he deliver bread and vegetables every day.
You'll experience a typical cretan village with very old houses, a little grocery, a pharmacy and a taverna, of course. You have the possibility to meet people from the village, who are superkind and friendly. The taverna is worth a visit, every day if you want! Delicious cretan food to very low prices. There is a larger village nearby, Kastelli, with some supermarkets and some other shops. Iraklion is a 40-minutes car-ride away. In the surroundings you can take a look on ancient excavations on different places, you can visit churches and monasteries and other religious places, you can hike or just take a day off on a beach. The south coast was our favorit, which is only 50 minutes car-ride from Apostoli. With that named - you need a car! The best way is to choose a local car rental company. We was only two persons in the house, but it works even for a family with two children.
