We stayed for two weeks with two small kids (6 and 2) and had a wonderful time. We were greeted by Kostas’ uncle who was very kind and invited us to call on him for an excursion to the countryside and some local flavor. The space was great, bigger than it looks from the pictures and with an enclosed safe and sizeable private yard area with attractive plantings that had a locking gate—perfect for our two year old. The beach is literally just 2 minutes away, and there’s a convenient outdoor shower and hose to wash the sea water and sand off when you come back. An unexpected find for us with kids is that right next door there is a restaurant called “Tastes” (access from the beachfront road) which has a playground area with swings, a play house, a small trampoline, etc! So you can just go and sit at a table and watch your kids play and have dinner brought right to you. Talk about a vacation! Also there’s a supermarket right up at the other end of Kileler street (5 mins walk), as well as a bus stop to go downtown (need to buy tickets first, best to get a few right away at the bus station when you arrive in Rethymno, if you plan to ride it). The whole space was perfect and we highly recommend it.
