We were in Crete in early October and stayed in this beautiful apartment. We were very nicely welcomed by the manager. Communication was flawless throughout the stay. Unfortunately, some technical devices (coffee maker, microwave) and the rain shower were defective. The manager made an effort to repair them.
The pool, the jacuzzi and the entire terrace were gorgeous. At the beginning of October it can be fresh, especially in the evening, especially if the wind blows strongly, this should be considered. However, it is then worth a trip to the south of the island, because it is usually warmer and sunnier - in 45 minutes drive away are gorgeous beaches in the south.
A car is necessary on site, even though the small village of Gerani, which can be visited on foot, seems very idyllic and you can find small supermarkets and nice taverns there.
All in all a wonderful vacation!
