Kimi and I just returned from Crete after staying 10 nights at George's apartment. We had an absolutely brilliant time and recommend his villa to everyone.
It has everything you need for self catering from a large fridge, lots of cupboard space, all cutely and pans, pots etc.. And definitely not forgetting the air con!
The apartment was very clean, likewise for the whole surrounding area and pool. You can tell George has put a lot of effort into renovating everything.
Highlight for us was the lovely environment and the friendly guests we met, as we ended up having some BBQ evenings together outside, which I highly recommend! Just waking up and sitting on the poach immediately in the sun and jumping in the pool is priceless, gone are the days of hotels for us now!
My tip to all guests, hire a car. Yes, you can walk to both beaches and small towns which is about a 15 min walk, but the journey back is all uphill and even for us in our mid twenties in the heat, it is quite difficult - especially if you want to go shopping.
For small amenities you can get most things at the beach supermarkets (is expensive), but with a car you can drive 15 mins to Heraklion and go to a much bigger market with a lot of variety, fresh foods and meats!
Whilst here you need to visit 3 places (hire a Sat Nav), Preveli Beach, Chrissi Island and Elafonisi. Thank us later :-)
