Our holiday at villa Arcolios Epavlis was wonderful !!! It has been a week since we came back and we are still under its spell.
The whole experience was great, the house, the sea at its feet and above all, Manossos, George's father, who was a terrific host. We had wine and olive oil at our disposal, he brought us special tea, local cheese and yogurt to taste. He has tips about very good restaurants in Chania, where to park when heading fir the market etc.
It might be good to know that the road going down from the main coastal road to the house seems a little intimidating at first sight but is no trouble at all actually. Just go slowly. Another thing to bear in mind is that the grocery store in Aptera, though small, has lots of good stuff, including bread.
