First and foremost, Aliki’s Place is in a beautiful location. The views of the bay from the common area balcony’s are breathtaking and if you venture down across the street you can follow the trails to small secluded beaches. We spent most of a day on a beach where we only saw one other family the entire time. Just what I was looking for when venturing to Crete. The main beaches are also fantastic with crystal clear water and smooth sand.
The apartment we stayed in (#11) was adequate for our time there, but was not exactly what the photos lead you to think it is. It’s on the backside of the building away from the view. For us this was no problem as we weren’t spending much time indoors. The only other small negative for us is that the shower stall is quite small and has the issue where the shower curtain suctions in and clings to your body, there also didn’t seem to be a way to hang the shower head, maybe the hook had broken off the handle at some point? The water is warm though! Boiler works great. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows for whatever reason are the best pillows I’ve ever used. Aliki and her husband are very responsive and helpful!
