This is a story about one incredible happy month in real Creta!
Maria is gorgeous, wonderful, fantastic, friendly, very helpful, caring and kind, a good person to meet, a great friend to be and the best host ever! Now I really have a big Greek family and I left a peace of my heart in Creta <3
Always in touch, always ready to help if you need something, she gave me a lot of great advices about what and where to eat, what to do and what to visit. I was really happy to spend my time with her and her family and discover and feel the real Creta!
Maria gave me a drive from the airport and made me a delicious welcome Greek breakfast :)
Maria’s family also makes their own very good cretan olive oil.
The apartment is very good: comfortable, cozy, feels like home from the first minutes, very clean, has everything you need to enjoy your time, to relax, to cook and to live: all new kitchen equipment, good conditioner, a TV to have fun with Greek cartoons or shows or watch some films in English in the evenings, some good Cretan cosmetics in the bathroom. I especially loved the induction cooker, because it’s really fast, the big toaster, the big bed and the balcony of course :) The balcony is really nice too, you can sit there and enjoy the slow romantic dinner or breakfast, facing the street, where the life is going on and on and on all the time, or you can close the balcony door from inside and feel calm and relaxed.
The location is perfect: 30 minutes from Heraklion Airport, super market next door or the big supermarket 5 minutes walk, bookshop and souvenirs also near. Creta Maris beach is 5 minutes walk from the apartment, it has blue flag, it’s big, sandy, with clear clean water, has water sports, showers, toilets, changing rooms, beach bar. There are also a lot of beaches for all tastes around Hersonissos. A lot of tavernas, cafes, restaurants, clubs and entertainments nearby. Delicious food everywhere! For daily meals “David” is very recommended, they have traditional cretan food, big portions and good prices. To rent a car I recommend Onyx rentals just 2 minutes walk across the street, we had a really good experience with them. Please don’t use the car rental next door to the supermarket, they cheat on money, insurance and cars. For some group excursions or trips to Santorini I recommend “Serapis”, good people, good quality, good prices.
Acqua Plus water park, CretAquarium, and towns Chania, Retimno, Agios Nikolaos are good to visit by car :)
I so much loved Maria and her family, the place, the sea, the food and the island!
Definitely come back for more!
100 from 100!
Totally recommended!
