The apartment is in a beautiful location, overseeing the mountains and the Plakias bay. Actually, we believe the small and unspoiled village of Mirthios (and the neighbouring villages of Mariou and Sellia) to be much more interesting than the touristy Plakias (this is my personal opinion, of course :-). We were welcomed by Elena's mother - Chrisanti - who was always very kind and helpful. The studio was clean, quiet and ideal for a relaxing holiday. We loved the south coast of Crete!
