Our holidays started with my 76 year old mother taking a fall at a church in Heraklion. After an emergency hospital visit there we moved to Rethymno to Effie’s apartment. Her kindness, gentleness, flexibility and willingness to help us were a “balsam” to our wounds! The apartment was so clean and had all we needed and more! (Even “homemade” olive oil from Effie’s family). Effie gave us great suggestions of day trips and great restaurants. We loved the beach across the apartment and found the location to be the perfect spot for our holidays. Can’t recommend it enough and we would definitely love to come back! Thank you Effie, you are the perfect host!
