My family and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Maryellen’s apartment. We were a couple with two girls aged 15 and 12 It is in a superb location with an excellent view of the coast and Chania in the distance. The apartment is extremely well-equipped above and beyond what one would expect. There were generous provisions including fresh pomegranates from the garden! Maryellen herself is the most wonderful host you could imagine. She was in touch regularly by message to make suggestions as to activities we could undertake. We were a little unlucky with bad weather for the first few days and Maryellen was forthcoming with suggestions about what we just could do for example visiting a friend of hers who is an artist and has an amazing a house in the country with a studio for making ceramics. She also made excellent restaurant and beach suggestions. In addition she booked tours for us including a trip to the Samira gorge as well as a boat trip on a yacht (B crew sailing). It was quite simply a fabulous day and we were so grateful to have such an amazing host. The icing on the cake (literally!) was when Maryellen produced a chocolate cake for our daughters 13th birthday. Thank you so much again! We would love to return. Crete is an amazing island.
