My husband and I had a lovely time staying in Milatos at Eleni's apartment by the sea. From the moment we booked this trip, Eleni was helpful in communicating exactly how to locate the accomodation and as soon as we arrived, made sure we felt at home with prompt communication and help whenever needed. We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful apartment and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind with beautiful views of the ocean and it had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday.
The apartment is self sufficient with a double bed, air conditioning, kitchen, utensils, complimentary oil and raki, bathroom, tv, outdoor area and a complimentary umbrella that we found very useful during the heatwave that hit Crete during our stay! Eleni was also lovely enough to gift us with some local olive oil to take home and was always happy to help with any suggestions of where to visit in the local area.
The apartment is close to a number of excellent restaurants and cafes, right next to a beach with crystal clear water and there is even a small supermarket for supplies. We used Milatos as a base for our travels to Elounda and Spinalonga Island which were only 30-40 minutes by car (Agios Nikolaos isn't far either) and are glad we did because coming back to a quiet beach town after a busy day was very nice! It's also only a 40-50 minute drive from Heraklion so it's a great middle base for seeing the Eastern side of Crete.
If you're wanting to stay somewhere quiet but still in an area that's accessible to the tourist hotspots, this is the place to stay! We will definitely be coming back one day, thanks again Eleni!
