Margarita and Chrissi were perfect hosts. They helped us arrange transportation, gave us vital information that helped us navigate the area on foot (!), and were quick to respond to any need. They even allowed us a late checkout because of our schedule. The photographs do *not* do justice to the terrace - it's even more beautiful in person! We could have lived on that terrace, and we spent many hours at all times of day watching the water, the boats passing by, and the swallows flying through the air. It never became old or boring. It is truly an astounding location. The room was clean and well-equipped, and the pool was absolute heaven, clean and cool and often unused at the right time of day for us. We found the Akrimios grounds very quiet and restful; we slept wonderfully. The short walk up to the village of Aptera was very pleasant and easy; at the top is a fantastic mini-market, as well as great restaurants - we really had everything we needed, even for a stay of one week. In short, it was a really amazing and perfect stay. We hope to come back many times!
