Everything was perfect! The Appartment has all you need for a week on holidays - a balkony for dinner outside, all you need for preparing food, a comfortable bed with different pillows, a fully equipped bathroom. The beach is only one street down and if you don't want to lie on a sunlounger, there's also free space in the sand. Good bus connection to airport and heraklion and from there you can also use busses to all over the island - we have been to Matala one day - it's worth a trip.
We have been here in off-season and that was really nice - not to crowded and still warm and sunny.
supermarket and restaurants are all near by. We can recommend the restaurant "Kritko Spiti" - it's a few hundred meters to walk and traditional cretean food, super friendly service and big portions for good prices and really delicious.
