Lovely little self contained apartment; clean and fresh towels provided. The owner was very quick to respond and helpful.
Just personal preference to our age and lifestyle - perhaps a little noisy in the evenings from the bars and clubs around; but the apartment is double glazed with air con if you want to block out the noise. Personally, we like the open and fresh air so was thankful for the midnight curfew. Like I say, no reflection on the owner or the apartment - that’s just our personal preference. Noise from restaurants we enjoy and is pleasant but bars and clubs a little different for us.
The area is wonderful. A short walk through the town to a lovely small sandy beach with umbrellas and beds at €12 day.
We enjoy fresh fish so would highly recommend Pelagos just a short stroll from the apartment. They have fresh fish, pasta and meat - a lovely quiet and traditional Greek restaurant. We will thoroughly miss this and the lovely staff!
Lots of Gyros Kebabs and Greek salads on offer for the younger generation.
But the hospitality of the Cretans, the family and Apostolis was brilliant. We will very likely return to Crete to discover more of what is to offer traditionally and historically. It is an island that I am sure will attract across the whole generations and I can see why people move there!!
If we found the right property, I’m sure we would purchase and return!
Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoyed ours - albeit amidst a very troubled world right now... This town and the Cretans deserve much abundance for the very hard work they put in!
Note for the local Greek Town Council - PLEASE CLEAR YOUR PLASTIC FROM THE HARBOUR REGULARLY! That made me truly sad to see building up more and more on a daily basis. Such beautiful Aegean Sea - clear and a whole beautiful and vibrant sea life. Turquoise waters and then plastics. Would be my recommendation for the local council to do a collection every morning!!!!
Namaste 🙏🏻
