Costas' apartment is really totally delightful. It is exactly as stated - and perhaps, understated! My sister and I stayed for 7 days and are certainly planning to return. That is a 'no brainer' as they say.
Both Costas and his mother Kyria Maria ( Mrs Maria) made us so welcome. Our late arrival was smooth, we easily understood the workings of the apartment from the clear instructions and the way to the beach and the little shops was obvious and we had an easy first day.
Our hosts were kind and helpful , and gave us so much information to enjoy out stay.

The area: We roamed around the local area, mainly the beach and sea, and Nolis coffee shop 2 minutes away - if you walk slowly! -and a great place for coffee and greek pastries. I worked my way through the list in a week, inexpensive, tasty and healthy!

It is a short walk to the stunning Ventian town of Rethymnon, or a walk round the fortress to the harbour.
The main town beach is within reach, but probably not worth moving away from the apartment area which offers everything needed to relax, tan and swim!

The sea front area in front of the apartment offers everything we needed, and more! For the price of a cold drink you can use the sun beds, pool and bathroom facilities of the next door but one hotel. If wished you can eat there as well. That was an added bonus - thank you Costas for that little gem of information. Having said that, our first day simply sitting on the beach near the little rock pools was absolutely fine.

We ate our breakfast on the balcony of the room, strolled through the garden with our own coffee, then down the character beach steps, hopped across a few stones and we were lazing on the sun loungers!
The restaurant flanking the other side of the apartments meant an easy lunch or evening meal! And not to forget Kyria Maria's fantastic biscuits - thank you, the famous Cretan hospitality made us so comfortable :)

In essence the apartment was exactly as stated; simple clean comfortable. The important things of clean linen, good shower power, good light and wifi all there! This is the complete package for simple comfort and a feeling of being in someone's home, and that they value you and pay attention to you as and when needed! We loved it - see you next year!
Thank you hosts Costas, Kyria Maria, and the others on your team that make your apartments exactly as advertised, and your fantastic hospitality and thoughfulness that make a complete holiday experience!
