The apartment is very spacious with everything you need for your holiday. The terrace is huge with two large sun umbrellas and we ate a lot of our meals outside and spent some evenings staying out until it was dark, looking at the stars (and the local owl!). The apartment was beautifully clean and the owners could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We were greeted with a glass of raki and left with bread, cheese and meat, a lovely bowl of fruit and a bottle of wine! They recommended a lovely beach when it was windy for a couple of days which was completely sheltered. The apartment is not very far from the sea (2 minutes walk) and you can see and hear it from the terrace across the bamboo. The apartment is not overlooked at all, so it is very relaxing - it is in a quiet and peaceful area. There are four good restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance and just below the apartment is a nail bar where you can have a manicure or pedicure. There is a swimming pool next door belonging to a restaurant/holiday apartment complex that you can use. We would recommend a car so that you can explore the area and visit some of the lovely beaches and amazing scenery that west Crete has to offer. Chania is a charming and very interesting place to visit and Platanias just along the coast has lots of shops and restaurants. The Botanical Park and Gardens Of Crete are lovely and not too far away. We had a lovely holiday here.
