An excellent Villa set in a clean and quite grounds. The pool never felt busy and many times we were the only people using it. Christos is an excellent host who checked a few times with us that all was OK.
Istron is an excellent base to explore the east of the island. Highlights for us were Vai and Agios Fotia beach. The major town of Agios Nicholas was only a 30 minute drive and the airport a little over an hour. Istron itself has many taverns and beaches that are walking distance from the villa. We hired a car and as Istron is located on a main road it was easy to get about. A main road in crete is still very quite by Northern European standards!
