We had a wonderful time at Riza apartments. The location is very peaceful, with a balcony view over the olive groves out to the sea. There is lots to do in the area, even in October. We enjoyed tiny beach, phalasarna beach, hiking up the peninsula (you can go all the way to Balos beach), Lissos gorge (a bit of a drive), and lots of lovely local restaurants. Despina went above and beyond to look after us with delicious home cooked Cretan food and treats. Thank you Despina!
