Maria was patiently waiting for us at the airport - our plane was late arriving and she had been waiting for quite a while. She greeted us with great warmth and pointed out the places to see and the restaurants on the way to the flat. As it was late evening, she suggested we joined her and her husband and friends to a Taverna on the beach. This was our first contact with the country and it was nice to be included with local people, eating local food.
The flat was nice and tidy and Maria had thoughtfully left a few items in the fridge and a bottle of Ouzo was waiting for us on the dining table.
Maria is a very warm and welcoming lady who is prepared to make her guests' stay a success and she is always prepared to come to the rescue if you need anything. We had countless cups of Greek coffee and lots of titbits to eat!!!
She was also very helpful when we decided to hire a car and she managed to find us a very good deal.
The flat was very homely and pleasant, the area was very quiet and there was plenty of room to sit outside in the shade or in the sun.
Maria made our stay more than pleasant and I hope we will keep in touch with our new friend in Heraklion!!
