Konstantinos and his wife Kalliope were such attentive hosts, Kalliope was there to greet us when we arrived even though it was late and spoke to our taxi driver to give directions. She had brought little cheese pies as she guessed we would be hungry, there was milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge. Even though we didn’t cook at the apartment the cupboards had some basic ingredients, like seasoning, olive oil, pasta. And of course fully equipped with crockery, pans and utensils.
The apartment was perfectly located and initially thought the nearest beach wouldn’t suit us as it wasn’t as sandy as others a bit further away but Kalliope felt sure we would be happy with Kitroplatia beach and she was right as most days we were there as also there are so many cafes and restaurants right on the edge of the beach. Sven who runs the beach loungers and umbrella on the beach was very helpful, 3€ per bed and 3€ for the umbrellas per day. He would reserve for us each day. Also George’s and family at Deja Vu cafe there so very friendly and great service.
We had a cruise to the island at Spinalonga which was amazing value at 16€ with a stop so we could have a swim off the boat. Kalliope and Konstantinos provided a very comprehensive guide of all facilities and amenities which was so useful. We loved it so much if we visit Agios Nicholoas we would definitely choose to stay at their apartment again.
