Andreas was very welcoming and helpful. We loved the apartment-the perfect size and view! The place was very clean and well furnished. We loved the deck. The apartment is well located for exploring western Crete. It is on the bus line for easy travel, though we had a car. There is a grocery store and bakery within walking distance. Andreas was helpful in providing information about places to see in the area. The beach is great for walking-and not crowded at all. Bonus-the turtles was laying while we were visiting, though we did not see them. Scientists were monitoring the nests. As with all the islands-don't forget to bring mosquito repellent!
