i stayed one month in the smaller of the two apartments and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The apartment is equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay - even a washing machine. it is located just a few minutes from the village square but still it's very private and peaceful . In late autumn the apartment and the courtyard, which is shaded by big trees, does not get much sun and can feel a little chilly, but I'm sure in summer it is perfect! Vryses is a convenient place to stay even without a car - although I would recommend one - because it is well connected by bus to Chania, Rethymnon, Heraklion and Sfakia. There are nice walks around the village, e.g. the old road up to the pretty village of Vamos, and the lovely beach resort of Georgioupolis is ten minutes away by bus. Also, Crete's only freshwater lake, which is scenic and perfect for a swim, is a short car ride away. Vryses has a surprisingly large number of shops and cafes and amenities for its small size, and Elena and her family in the village are very kind and helpful and do their utmost to resolve any issues that might arise.
