Well equipped studio right on the beach at Fodele.
The studio is in a small block of three apartments right on the beach above a disused snack bar. The studio we booked had balcony that faced the road rather than sea but the shared roof terrace was a great alternative if you wanted a view of sea.
The beach area was very quiet but with two good value tavernas serving a selection of tasty local food and offering free beach umbrellas and loungers.
There is a large hotel at one end of the beach but it only added to the outlook particularly when lit up at night. The guests of the hotel did not appear to come down to our end of the beach and kept to their regimented rows of beach furniture.
The pretty village of Fodele was a 3km stroll up the hill and is well worth a look for traditional food.
Both George and Pinelopi were both friendly hosts and I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation to anybody looking for a quiet beach holiday on the north coast of Crete.
