This is an excellent place to stay with over the top service from Ειρηνη and her husband. You will need a car to get around if you want to see a lot of the island and this apartment offers free parking. I stayed here with my husband and thought this was an excellent location for everything we wanted to see. We drove to Elafonisi Beach which was about a 2 hour drive from here and spent the day there. Totally worth the drive and would highly recommend this. We also went to Kournas Lake, Preveli Beach and other suggestions provided by Ειρηνη (you can also find these in her guidebook on the Airbnb listing page). We unfortunately did not get to to see Balos Beach and we were disappointed about that after seeing Elafonisi Beach. Crete is absolutely beautiful and should you decide to go to this island you should definitely plan to stay here. I really can't say enough great things about our overall stay here.
