This is a wonderful flat to stay in, you can see the sun rise every morning and it has a lovely see view. The place is very clean, tastefully decorated and with all facilities you will need. It is very spacious and has a large lounge/ kitchen/ dining area. There are lovely beaches nearby, the most practical for a swim is probably the one in front of the Gallini beach bar/ restaurant down the road (you can walk to it), but there is also a beautiful secluded beach in front of the house if you can manage the rocky path down to it.
There are two bigs towns nearby, Ierapetra, which is very modern, and Makry Gialos, which is the most wonderful 70s style beach town. The food in the area is excellent, we ate very well at Kallionitza in Koutsouras, just before Makry Gialos, as well as at Stratos, just before the port of the same town. The landscape is very hilly and rocky but the roads are in great condition. Kyriaki and Georgiou (hope they forgive the spelling) are very helpful and generous hosts, and will make your stay a very friendly and relaxed one. This was possibly our best Airbnb experience so far, and we’ve had quite a few!
