Having arrived at night, we met Esmerelda by the central church, picked up a few essentials from the supermarket close by, then set off following her. Not for the faint hearted the drive off the main road at night for the first time and would strongly recommend taking out good insurance coverage for your hire car, as parts of the drive are no more than an old cart track. Drive slowly and it is perfectly fine. Much easier however driving by day.
Having had a long day on arrival, we headed off to bed. The following morning, our jaws dropped in awe, as we pulled back the curtains! WHAT A VIEW! I have rented dozens and dozens of properties over the years, but none had had just an incredible view!
The cleanest and most fully equipped property you could ever need! Three huge bedrooms all with massive en-suite shower rooms! Air conditioning throughout and the property is not overlooked at all. 15 min drive to the village/small town of Elounda where you will find all you need, including a beach. The restaurants by the harbour all delivered high quality food, our favourite was Olio.
My only huge complaint is that 7 nights, just was not long enough to spend there, so we intend to return in 2023! Something we have never, ever done before. Yes it is that good! Oh and Jimmy, the chap who cleans the pool twice per week is a mad football fan, and I have made him a supporter of Luton Town!
