We were very warm welcomed by Nikos mum and his brother. Nikos mum also provided us with some basic stuff like water, orange juice, jam and coffee for the first day. Both were very friendly and we could ask them anything about the area or some tips what to do.

Nikos brother also provided us with some rental car for a special price. It was also delivered to our apartment and we could give it back at the same place. This was quite stressless and we can really recommend to rent a car.

Nevertheless the area around the apartment is very quite. Shops, restaurants, bars and the beach were in a foot walking distance of around 5 to 10 minutes. The bus stop is also quite close and you can get to Knossos, Heraklion or Heraklion airport easily by a cost of 1,70 Euro per ride.

The facilities were clean and not crowded. We enjoyed more relaxing on the pool than walking to the beach because it was only around 5 meters away from our apartment.

We are already thinking of coming back to his apartment in the near future. Thanks for providing us the base for a relaxing holiday.
