I stayed at Vana's place with my family for three weeks. Three kids 12, 10 and 8 yrs. The apartment is extremely convenient. Very short walk to the main street in Almyrida. Easy parking. Almyrida is a small village but has plenty of restaurants and shops and a nice beach. A grocery store is a short walk away. We rented a car and visited many popular beaches and Almyrida was a convenient starting point to explore Crete.
