Thanks to Nectarios' faultless hospitality, our week-long stay in Sitia exceeded all our (probably high to begin with) expectations. Nectarios is an exemplary host - if I could, I would easily award him 6 stars. The villa is smart, cozy, super comfortable, and superbly located. This region of Crete, at the very eastern tip of the island, is the Greece of your imagination: it's welcoming, traditional, and (still somehow) undiscovered. The secluded beaches, old fashioned tavernas are all lapped by the translucent gentle sea... even in autumn. This is a fantastic place for a leisurely family holiday, a romantic getaway, or a luxurious adventure well off the beaten path. Thousands come to vacation on Crete each year, but our stay with Nectarios was unique and unforgettable. We recommend him (and the apartments) most highly.
