The apartment's location is an excellent base for travelling around Crête. It's a 15 minute walk to old town and there are lots of resteraunts to choose from outside the doorstep.
I'm terms of beaches you will be a stones throw away from one. We had a car hired during our stay and were able to easily drive to various locations around Crête.
The apartment has an amazing view of the sea from the balcony which we were able to enjoy every morning and the view of the sunset is awesome too.
Elbie greeted us on arrival and was extremely helpful throughout our stay. We were also given a nice bottle of wine on arrival which is an added bonus.
