Beautiful, quiet location. It was lovely be able to walk straight out on to the beach directly in front of the apartment. We visited in early May and the place was just starting to come to life, albeit in a very tranquil way. There are half a dozen or so restaurants and snack bars along the sea front, as well as a small mini-market for basics such as milk and bread etc.
Andreas was a great host and met us at the airport where we picked up our rental car so that we could follow him back to the apartment. He was also kind enough to guide us to the nearest supermarket on his way back to Heraklion.
Just one warning - do not be dismayed when you arrive at the apartment to find that the floor above and the next door apartments are still only half built. Although the rear of the apartment looks like a building site, the apartment itself when you arrive at the front is lovely. We would definitely consider returning here in the future.
