Our 1st time to Crete and we had a lovely time at Mark's Villa. Everything was as described and, in our opinion was better than pictured.
Mark met us at the property and gave us a tour and lots of useful information about where to go out. He was easy to contact when we had forgotton ask for the WiFi password.
Contrary to a previous review, we did not find any issues with the accommodation itself. The sofa was actually very comfortable and easy to fall asleep on! The place was clean. If you like to style your hair then bring a small mirror as there is no plug socket near a mirror although noticed an extention lead in a drawer so may be could be used.
The swimming pool was lovely, although we did notice the blue coming off on our feet. However it wasn't an issue to us.
We found it lovely to hear the sounds of the countryside all around us.
Goats, Sheep, etc are all part of life here. Especially with a farm at the end of the road.
There was also a lovely neighbour British ex-pat who gave us lots of advice and we had a natter.
There are lots of lovely places and good snorkeling beaches to visit around the island and Panormos has some great taverns. But don't come here without a car unless you plan not to go outside the village.
The day excursion to Balos Beach was excellent with Atimos Travel (Bookable from a travel agent in Panormos Village)
All in all, we had a very relaxing stay and would be happy to return here in the future.
