We stayed at Dimitrios’s apartment for a week at the end of May with our 2-year-old son. If you want sunshine but don’t want to melt this is a great time to go, although the sea was still a little chilly. The area was peaceful and we never had an issue finding a good spot on the beach. Plenty of tavernas nearby for lunch and dinner within walking distance. The apartment itself was clean, with a nice outdoor space and plenty of toys and games for the kids. Dimitrios was very attentive, checking in with us regularly to make sure all was well, and responded quickly to all our queries. He also arranged a rental car for us which I would recommend for day trips to knossos etc. I’d never driven a left-hand drive car before so was a little nervous, but the roads were pretty empty so no stress at all. Overall a great apartment, would recommend for small families.
