This is a great apartment and Anastasia was a wonderful and generous host. We really enjoyed our stay there and made full use of the magnificent outdoor space and delightful mini pool. The apartment is well equipped and very comfortable. There were four of us and the apartment worked well at capacity. The kitchen is well equipped and we made one big meal there easily. On arrival, there was loads of fruit and veg, drinks and gorgeous home- made spinach and cheese pies in the kitchen. Very welcoming! During our stay Anastasia also brought down delicious orange cake and beautiful stuffed vegetables one day. We loved these personal touches. Impressive and tasty. The bedroom with the double bed is not huge, but it served our needs. There is just one air conditioning unit in the flat, in the lounge. For a couple of nights we tried open windows at night (they have insect mesh) but it was a bit humid, so in the end we tried the air con on, windows shut and bedroom doors open. This was much more comfortable for all of us.
We actually rather liked the local beach, which is just a few minutes over the road. The apartment block is on a very busy road and there is road noise when you are on the balcony space. We sort of got use to this and enjoyed the view out over the sea. The pool is relaxing and fun. We all enjoyed just lolling around in it.
There is fantastic local restaurant, Taverna Elia, about 20 minutes walk away. It was our most favourite food on Crete (and one of our party was Greek). Truly delicious food and great staff. We went twice and were very, very happy.
There is handy parking at the back of the apartment block.
All in all, an excellent stay.
