We stayed one week at the apartment. Kostas managed all the check in and communication. His answers came promptly and he made the check in and out very easy. We even were able to check out late. The apartment is spacious and bright, there are two balconies one on each side. The view is nice. You can see the sea from afar. Unfortunately there is a shell of a house right in front that reduces the beauty of the view but we didn’t care too much. There was everything we needed in the house like air conditioning, a well aquipped and big kitchen, two big sofas, TV with many programms from various countries, a comfortable bed and a big wardrobe. We could park our car in the yard and go for many places. The near beaches are very relaxed and you can find plenty of restaurants and bars. Our impressive excursions to Preveli beach, to the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion and to Knossos, of course, we will never forget. Very near to the apartment is also the Crete Aquarium which you might enjoy. In Gournes itself and in Gouves which is right next to Gournes you can also find tourist centers that offer a lot of excursions and more. We are glad we met Caroline in Gouves who gave us recommendations and finally we went on a trip to Santorini and on another day we rented a squad which was fun to drive for finding a nice beach spot. We can heartly recommend the apartment. Best regards, César and Alex
