We had an amazing time during our two and a half weeks here. The villa is well equipped and very clean and spacious. The pool wasn’t as deep as we had hoped but was well maintained and was great to cool off in after the steep climb up from the beach! Lovely views from the balcony on the first floor and we ate most of our meals there.
It was helpful to have a washing machine ( please note to put the outlet pipe into the toilet though!)
A couple of lovely nearby restaurants, Pantelis and Ariana’s , do special Greek dancing nights but remember to book a table in advance as it can get very busy!
We caught a bus into Rethymno a couple of times which took about 30 mins, remember to buy tickets from the shop outside the stop before you board though!
The beach is a mix of sand and pebbles and we were glad of our swim shoes! Be wary of swimming in the sea on windy days as the waves can be quite dangerous, check to see if the red flag is flying! There is a lifeguard who tried her hardest to keep people safe and we did witness her help a few foolhardy tourists who didn’t listen to her.
Overall a lovely relaxing holiday in a good location with great facilities. Would definitely recommend!
