This apartment is a tremendous base to explore the island . We hired a car but you could easily access it from the airport by local bus . The apartment was incredibly well equipped , the bed was amazingly comfortable and we were able to walk to local shops or larger supermarkets nearby . The beach right in front was a real bonus , free sun beds and the water was easy to access . Emmanouil was a very responsive host , great suggestions and nothing was too much trouble . We had a fantastic week and would thoroughly recommend this apartment and the area for a visit to Crete
