I was very much looking forward to staying at Apple Apartments after receiving such a helpful and friendly response to my initial enquiry. Pinelopi went out of her way to organise a way to get me to the apartment, which is quite a distance from the airport and I didn’t hire a car, which was very much appreciated.
The apartment is nicely decorated and has everything you could need, including air-conditioning and a washing machine. I loved the outdoor space in particular, where I spent many an evening in the lovely company of Pinelopi (I am a solo traveller). Although not on the beach front, there is a small road to the beach just metres from the apartment and it only takes a few minutes by foot, before you are swimming and enjoying the sunshine. The benefit of being near the main road is that the mini-market is just over the road and the bus stop just a couple of hundred metres away.
This was my first visit to Crete and I want to thank Pinelopi and her husband for making it so memorable and making me feel so welcome.
