It was just a perfect place for us, slightly higher up in the mountains, yet only 15 minutes away by car from beuatiful sandy beaches. Although the temperatures at the seaside were 30 degrees centigrade or more, it was nice and cool in the village. We did not need to use the air conditioner even once.
The village itself is small, but it has a very nice, traditional yet sort of newly built, clean taverna where Cretan specialties are served (no menu, you are just asked to go look in the kitchen to see what has been cooked for the day). The food is very good and the prices are low -- lunch for three adults for approximately 20 euros, often less. While it is a village, you do not get the extra pleasure of countryside animal smells. And the views, these are breath-taking. There is a beautiful Kotsifou canyon nearby, something we have not seen before even though we have been to Crete several times.
The apartment itself is just really really modern and comfortable, with spacious rooms and a nicely furnished kitchen/dining room. A comfortable sofa in the living room, a comfortable bed in the bedroom, a small deck with a table and chairs.
This place was by far the best apartment and area we have been to in Crete, so again, thank you Eris and Myron for letting us stay there.
