When we stepped into our taxi from the airport, our taxi driver told us that „Konaki“ means as much as „place to hang out“ and there could not be a better description for Emmanouils place. We felt very safe and at home. The hosts Emmanouil and Maria were extremely welcoming and caring. The atmosphere at the Konaki apartments is very relaxed and calm, so is the atmosphere in all of Panormo. If you are looking for a place to meet nice people, enjoy evenings on the balcony and hang out at the pool, Emmanouils place is the perfect place for you. It is also worth mentioning that within walking distance (~2min.) you can find a very nice beach and a supermarket, as the apartment is in the heart of Panormo. Within 10min walking distance there is also a bus stop connecting Panormos to bigger cities like Heraklion and Rethymno, enabling you to go on day trips to other cities at an affordable price.
We can only recommend staying at Emmanouils place and will for sure be coming back some day :)
