Great ground floor apartment, recently renovated to a very high standard and looks just like the photos. The apartment is light and airy and the view is fabulous. The owner, Manto and her family live on site but apart from a shared drive, all facilities are separate and the sun terrace and pool is private. It was nice to see Manto, who was very efficient with booking info and check in and leaving instructions. Manto very kindly shared some of her wine and provided a traditional Cretan meal cooked on the outside wood fired oven.
The area of Kalyves is a good location to explore all Crete has to offer. The apartment is on higher ground, hence the view, and an easy walk to the beach, supermarket and several tavernas.
