What an amazing stay- so many good things to say! First off, the apartment was beautiful and larger than we had expected, with a stunning view of the private and secluded-feeling Ligaria beach. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay, Ligaria is the spot (although we went the end of May, so perhaps a little before the start of peak season). There are a few restaurants and bars right on the beach within walking distance, and they all served great food. About 7-8 minutes away (driving) there is another larger/more crowded beach with more restaurants, beach clubs, etc. and the town of Heraklion was about 25 minutes by car. The apartment also had beach chairs for us to use, as well as pretty much everything else we could possibly need. What made this Airbnb truly amazing and unique though, was Popi, who lived in the apartment below us. She welcomed us graciously with a massive spread of local food/produce, Greek food (including spanakopita!) and wine, but that was just the beginning. Throughout our stay, Popi continued to surprise us with different food/snacks/drinks at all times of day. She even offered for us to help her and learn how to make moussaka (which turned out delicious). We absolutely loved our stay here- it reminded us of the truly unique experiences you can have using Airbnb. This was the ultimate Airbnb experience. Thank you George and Popi!!
