Paralia is a very, very nice home in a great location if you want to see the key cities/sites of Crete. The owner is very nice, responsive, and accommodating. The home is literally on the beach directly off the National Highway. The home is exceptionally clean with everything you need to enjoy your stay. there are minimal drawbacks: the home is very close to a main road and the driveway can be a little challenging to find especially at night. I would definitely return to this home on our next visit to Crete.
