Kalimera ;)
We share other reviewers opinions. The apartment has stunning views over the bay. That view can be enjoyed from both bedrooms and from the balcony (which is the nicest). We particularly enjoyed company of two lovely dogs Blacky, Lara and nameless kitty who were waiting for us at the balcony every morning :)
The car is necessary and the apartment contains all necessary amenities to thoroughly enjoy your holidays inlcuding many books/magazines/cd's with music and Internet access.
Although the villa is shared among other users we felt the privacy was ok and had no issues with other tenants/holidaymakers.
The nearest shops are 10 minutes drive (in Elounda) and the road is quite steep. The last 100 meters to the villa is off road. From Hania/Heraklion there are to ways to get there through picturesque Elounda or a little bit shorter with a bit less picturesque views through Neapoli/Kastelli/Fourni villages.
We highly recommend the apartment and wish all the best to all who made our great holidays even better. Love Crete!
