We had a lovely holiday in Maroulas over the past two weeks. The apartment was functional and had plenty of space. One recommendation would be for a food/drink hamper for people on arrival as we didn't get there until 10.30pm and there was only two small water bottles in fridge. Everything else was okay with the apartment in general. A car is necessary for this accommodation as it's quite high up in the hills. We got very lucky as we got the number of a taxi guy who picked us up for night outs to save us from driving. Platanes has plenty of bars and restaurants and Rethymnon old town is wonderful. Sotiria was very helpful as a host and provided us with plenty of information on restaurants and beaches. Rethymnon beach and Panoramas beaches were sandy and enjoyable. In general a good holiday and we will be returning to Crete. Thanks Sotiria
