My husband and I had absolutely fantastic holidays at Despoina's. Only after a few days in Ammoudara we realised how lucky we were to have the privacy of Despoina's house and plenty of parking right at the property. The town is pretty tight and it might be challenging to find a quiet place or even park a car overnight (unless it's a paid parking). In general Ammoudara offers small apartments in multi storey buildings and hotels. We had a few family members staying down the road and they didn't have any of the luxury we enjoyed.
The inside and outside of the house are very clean and comfy. Anything you might need has already been thought of and is there for you to use.
We really liked the spacious beach which is only a few minutes’ walk from the property. Unlike central beaches there were very few people there, which was perfect for us.
A big supermarket and numerous taverns are within walking distance from the house. Heraklion city centre is only a short drive away via the stadium, alternatively multiple bus routes stop is located nearby. As we were making day trips around the island, the easy access to the freeway also came in very handy.
We've heard a lot about Cretan hospitality before, but Despoina exceeded any expectations!
I highly recommend the Sun and Sea to all guests. I would definitely come to stay here again.
