Vasilis and Magdalena met us at the beautiful apartment, waiting with fresh fruit, coffee and a wealth of recommendations for day trips, beaches, hikes and great restaurants. we found their recommendations to be the best parts of our visit. the apartment and beach, pool and cabanas were also excellent, giving us a quiet resort between the excursions. Pool and pool bar are great, really quiet and peaceful. Easy walk to restaurants and cafes, and otherwise very convenient to Iraklion and Palagea.
