Being luggage free as our suitcases were in transit from Turkey to Athens due to a delayed flight we were calmed by a delicious gyros in Heraklion en route to Rethymno. We then called Yiannis and were calmed some more with his clear instructions on how to travel from Heraklion to Rethymno by bus.

Once we arrived at the main bus stop in Rethymno it was a short 3 minute walk to the apartment, where we were promptly greeted by Yiannis. He showed us the apartment and was very accommodating by providing my partner with a phone charger, since ours was still in Istanbul.

A yummy chocolate cake greeted us and was demolished within a few hours. Thank you Anna! The apartment was the perfect size for two, cosy and modern with all the necessities. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked well and the shower was nice too (all very important things!). The apartment was even cleaned half way through our stay!

We hired a car for our stay in Crete and were provided with a parking spot belonging to the apartment (at times very tricky to get into as the street was busy with neighbouring cars, but Yiannis kindly moved his car to give us more space).

Great wifi connection, clean, within walking distance to the water, shops and restaurants! Yiannis was also happy to suggest nice places to eat and was helpful when he was contacted by airport personnel to inform us that our luggage had arrived safely in Heraklion! Thank you :)

Thanks for a great stay in Crete and Rethymno.
