We had a marvellous time at Efie and Manos’ apartment. The apartment is above their house with a separate entrance. The place is exactly as we expected it from the photos. There is air conditioning in the main room which is needed in the summer.
Efie and Manos are lovely hosts and we had a number of lovely surprises waiting for us when we arrived.
Sisi is a quiet village approximately 30 minutes from Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos so it’s an ideal place to relax in a quiet atmosphere, whilst being close to the larger towns and tourist attractions. We toured around East Crete and found Sisi an ideal place to use as a base.
There are a number of restaurants in Sisi, although we bought local produce in one of the local “supermarkets” and used Efie’s well-equipped kitchen for meals.
There are 3 beaches in Sisi, and you can also swim in the harbour which is 5 minutes walk from Efie’s place.
We would definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants a relaxing vacation in East Crete.
