Excellent flat near everything. Chrysa is a very good host. We had a very good communication with her and lots of suggestions about the area. The apartment is big, has two big balconies with nice views of the sea and mountains. The nearest public beach is 3 min walk. It’s a blue flag beach with loungers and full service which is very convenient. 2 loungers and an umbrella cost 9 €. There is a small super market on the corner which has almost everything and closes very late. Many good restaurants nearby. Pleasant walk to the Old Town. The things that we missed but absolutely survived without: AC in the bedrooms (if you open both balconies after sunset, there is a very nice cool breeze); regular toaster, good water pressure in the shower (seem to be a problem everywhere on Crete); wine opener - not a big deal. Chrysa provided a starter kit- big bowl of fruits, bottled water, olive oil, sandwiches which was very nice as we arrived late. The kitchen has everything-sugar, spices, coffee, utensils. We only had a breakfast at the apartment which was convenient. Lots of restaurants around eliminate the need of home cooking. The Cretan food is fantastic. People are very nice everywhere. It was our second visit to the island but definitely not the last.
