I stayed 2 weeks with my family of 4 in Hermes. The apartment is exactly as on pictures, new and with a beautiful view. It is well equipped, perfect for a long stay with kids. Only thing that we were missing during our stay was espresso machine and it would be very handy if apartment had a insect net also on the front door since it is a ground floor. Note that cleaning is not provided during the stay , but cleaning appliances are provided (even the vacuum cleaner, which I appreciated a lot). The host Dimitris was exceptional, communicative and responsive, helped when ever was needed. There is a great supermarket Sklavenitis near by and Ammoudi, best beach in the area with excellent restaurant and a beach club , only 3km away. Check for Fresco eatery in Elounda for excellent gyros and perfect pizza from wood fired oven, 6km away, kids were really enjoying it.
