We had an amazing time @ Costas place. In summary, the place has amazing views, is conveniently located between Heraklion and Chania, is very modern, spacious and clean with all possible amenities. The pool is beautiful and has a lovely area for a barbecue. Costas is a superb host taking care of the finer details. On the night we arrived (actually 1am), his mom had prepared us dinner and left a few things in the fridge for breakfast! He even brought us some freshly caught fish when I enquired about where we could buy some in the area!
Getting there @ night was a bit hazardous as the roads are very dark so best to take it slowly. Unfortunately the roads are not well marked so having a GPS is really helpful. Costas met us @ the side of the main road and drove us in after a few unsuccessful attempts @ finding the turnoff. We also loved the peace and quite. In particular when we visited some of the nearby beach hotspots we realized how lucky we were to be a little off the beaten track. Unless of course you don't mind loud tourist crowds and busy beaches! The nearest local beach was a five minute drive. @ first it didn't seem very special being under the freeway, but once there it was heavenly.
All in all it was a wonderful experience and highly recommended.
