We should like to agree with everything that has been said before. The apartment is wonderful, Zabia is an absolutely wonderful host. The location is spot on peacefully perfect. The choice of places to eat and drink is ample but not overbearing. Kalamaki is such a nice place it's not over run by tourism but it has enough life to.....well to give it life. Zabias apartment is just above a fine place to eat called Delfinia the hosts, food and wine perfect!!!
The beach is great and the sea is delightful to swim in and at dusk for watching the beautiful sunsets.
Zabia & Adonis are both very nice people and we enjoyed and thank them for their time and hospitality. (We are always shamed when we visit Crete that we haven't made a better effort to learn more Greek, thankfully Zabia covered it nicely with her great English.)
Zabia was brilliant with highlighting places to see and things to do, we only managed a few mainly because we are a couple of brimblers and often just bimble off the beaten track looking for those simple things in life.
With all things being well we sincerely hope Zabia will allow us to visit Kalamaki again next year.
The apartment is as good as it looks.....ok it's better than that. I could see myself happily retired on a balcony such as this one in Kalamaki..... Big glass of red wine, big fat cigar and a good book.......perfect (except I don't smoke).
I think we should keep the north as the party place and the sleepy agricultural south as our perfect place.
Thank you one and all in Kalamaki hope to see you next year.
XXXXXXX
ps the only thing the apartment lacks is........a name????? ;-)
