Our family of 4 had a wonderful 1-week stay at Istron Avra.
Kelly was a great host, we found the fridge full of their family's oranges that we use for delicious breakfast juices, there were also apples, family raki and wine, some food for the first dinner, bottled water...
On the first day there was this wind from the desert which brought a lot of red dust to all the outside equipment, which made it difficult to use. Kelly's father came in while we were away and cleaned all the outside areas, we had a great surprise when we came back home, we were so grateful!
Istron has some wonderful restaurants (our favourite was "Mama Lukia"), and it's the perfect spot to visit the East of Crete. From there you can easily reach Agios Nikolaos / Spinalonga, Knossos / Heraklion, the south, and the East (we went one day to the Vai beach).
Easy parking in the apartment, pleasant interior and exterior areas, well equipped and renovated, perfect for a family with 2 adults and 2 children.
We highly recommend it!
