My family and I rented two of the three apartments and the stay at Althea Maisonettes exceeded our expectations! Chrysi and her family take care of the houses and garden with much love and passionate effort. We were welcomed very warm-hearted and hospitably. Chrysi was very helpful in case of all kind of questions and even helped us to organize a taxi to the airport in the early morning. We found everything in very good condition and very clean. The kitchen's equipment leaves nothing to be desired. The location guarantees a stuning view at the bay of Souda and sunshine all day long including incredible sunrises and sunsets. If you are looking for some relaxing days off the beaten track and a good starting point for trips in western Crete. Aptera itself has some nice local taverns and ruins to visit. I highly recommend to visit Chrysis Apartments in Aptera!
