The apartment is in a lovely location right by the sea, so is perfect for a quick swim, paddle, or walk along the beach. There is a supermarket nearby and the kitchen in the apartment is well equipped for self-catering, so that worked well for us. There are several restaurants and 'tavernas' within a 5 minute walk (we would recommend the pizzas cooked in the stone pizza ovens!) We caught the bus to Heraklion (don't worry if it's late, it is on its way!) on two occasions where we had a good day out visiting the museums and port. In the apartment we had a TV, fridge, coffee machine, hairdryer and washing machine which all helped to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Our hosts had also left a plug-in anti-mosquito device which was invaluable in keeping us bite-free! They were very helpful with local advice and even booked a taxi from and to the airport for us. All in all we had a very good holiday and would highly recommend this apartment. Thank you!
