Staying at Evalia is a lot of fun - Eva makes very sure of that! Be prepared for great Cretan hospitality and to be involved in more of a community than at similar properties.
The location is probably best if you have transport, although not essential if you're OK with a walk to the beach, restaurants, etc. We had a car, and Eva gave us some excellent advice on places to visit all over NE Crete. We had several things planned and her suggestions enhanced all of them.
The pool area is lovely and there is always something going on, which can mean some noise at night, but nothing really loud. There is AC available if you want to close the door and block it out, so it really is not a problem.
A great place to explore the area - thanks Eva!
