The place is well located - it’s not the most picturesque area but is safe and very quick to walk to the old town and the beach (10 mins to each). The old town is beautiful and the beach is perfect. The communication from Stellios and Antonis was excellent - very quick to respond to messages and very good local recommendations. It felt like Stellios was very available and willing to help with any problems. We didn’t have a car but took day trips on the bus to Samaria gorge walk (7 hour walk - very beautiful) and to Elafonisi beach. The bus station is 10 min walk and the staff there are very informative and helpful. We also visited the 9d cinema to watch an informative movie on the Minoans - very fun!
