This is really a gem, and for two good reasons: The place is absolutely gorgeous, and the host Christina is the best host that we met. One of our best experiences on AirBnb!
Christina is very responsive, helpful, kind, and she really did everything so that we remember this vacation. Our mothers would not take care about us better than Christina. So thank you very much!
On the another side, this place is beautiful. Exactly as on the pictures. It is located in the bay, directly on the very nice pebble beach. In this bay, there are several apartments on the left side, and one Taverna on the right side of the beach (was closed) and that is pretty much everything. One more taverna nearby, on the main road.
Apartments shares the outer space, but also have some privacy. There you can put provided armchairs and beds, and enjoy the sun. There is also a shower in this area, which is great.
Apartment is made with a lot of love, very well organized, very well equipped. There are a lot of nice details that make the stay pleasant. The apartment was sparkling clean. Apartment offered enough space for us (couple with the kid). The area is completely traffic-free, and because of this, perfect for the kids. Beach has a crystal-clear water, it is also good for snorkeling as there are stones on the sides of the beach.
For this apartment, the car is recommended. There is mini-market about 500m from apartment, for bread and basic provisions. There are some better markets and a lot of great tavernas for diners, few km away. Ierapetra and MakryGialos are short drive from the apartment.
We were there the last week of October, there was a lot of sun and sea temperature was unbelievable 25 degrees. And just few people on the beach, sometimes even nobody. Much better than coming in the hot summer, our opinion. Also completely corona safe :)
