We had a wonderful week in Tertsa! Katerina's apartment is very convenient, cozy and has all you need for a great holiday. We arrived very late and that was not a problem. Nearly every day we received some fresh fruit and vegetables from Katerina's garden - absolutely delicious! Katerina and her family were very welcoming and we felt like at home.
The apartment has a great roof terrace where you can relax after a day on the beach or have dinner. The house is next to a road, but only a few cars go by daily, so that was not a problem at all. There is an outside shower that you can use to wash off sand after the beach and a place to dry wet towels or bathing suits.
Wi-fi connection is very good and the TV has Netflix and YouTube which could be attractive for kids ;)
This is a small village and you will not meet lots oof tourists. The beach is just down the hill (3 minutes away on foot) with three taverns offering free sunbeds with a coffee, drinks or a meal. A little shop has all the basics you might need (food, wine and beach equipment).
A beautiful road going West along the sea shore takes you to a lovely town of Myrtos and further to Ierapetra. Tertsa is a great place if you wish to explore the Eastern part of Crete.
Do not forget to ask Katerina for tips on sights and taverns to visit in the region - very helpful!
I highly recommend this location!
