A very warm and friendly welcome.
The property is as it looks in the photos. Lovely views across the sea and bays. our daughter loved the friendly location cats who just wanted a stroke and company. The pool is kept very clean, we went in may and water was cold, you can have it heated. The local beach is 2 minute walk. It has a good modern bar that does decent food, sadly very quiet each night so felt sorry for them. Also two tavernas. The beach has lovely views and setting although the beach itself is average but good enough for evening pottering or a quick dip. There is a much better beach with two bays less than five minutes away. It has two good restaurants and double bay beach with stunning views. Very busy at the weekend but quiet during the week, in may.
The location is quiet, it is very close to airport but you dont notice the planes. There is a military base too which on some days had jets taking off which are loud but its was only for a few minutes and interesting to watch them.
East twenty minute drive to hania which is a must to visit old town. It is is almost two hours to Elafonisi beach which is an amazing beach just walk away from crowds its a huge stretch and stunning nature reserve. Kournos lake interesting too but touristy one hour away. Rethymno is 1.45 drive. Aptera roman and minoan ruins are a great place to wonder and 40 mins drive.
May has beautiful wild flowers and the interior and mountains are stunning. Everyone is friendly, its greece after all.
