My husband and I spent a week at the Seli studios (for 3 people) and we had a great experience. Claudia was very quick to respond to our messages and she told us to drive to Zorba's taverna on the east side of Lentas beach when we arrived. There, we met the Grigoraki family who own and manage the property and Adam showed us the way to the studios. The stone buildings are very pretty and the views of Lentas and environs are breath-taking (tip: there's a viewpoint right next to the studios for some great sunset watching!). It's about a 5 minute drive from the beach to reach the studios, the last few hundred meters over dirt road. The room itself is very comfortable (especially the beds). The kichen area, although quite basic, allowed us to prepare some local dishes like Dakos with ease. But Lentas has several good tavernas (including Zorbas where we had a delicious dolmadakia made with cabbage leaves, washed down with chilled, home-made raki) so food will definitely not be an issue! Wifi can be a bit difficult to access, we needed to go outside the apartment to get a signal. One thing to note is that apparently it can occasionally get very windy in Lentas and since the Seli studios are located on a hill, the gusts can be very strong - so good to take along some additional clothing to stay warm in the evenings (we stayed last week of September). Also, the local super market is rather limited and Lentas is pretty isolated so next time we will do our grocery shopping in Heraklion before driving over.

Overall it was a very enjoyable and relaxing trip. We loved the barren, rocky landscape and the crystal clear seas; the peaceful, laid-back atmosphere and the hospitality of the people - we will most definitey come back!
