My 3 y.o. son and I are just back from our fantastic vacations in Crete! We rented George's place for a week. The apartment is even better than on pictures, I absolutely loved the view of the pool straight from the entrance!! Everything is so well and tastefully arranged - we had an easy life here. The house is located up on a hill and this is great: you get to hear cicadas & wind and smell wild herbs being away from a busy touristic nights of Agia Pelagia with loud music and bars. George also has a cozy hammock waiting for you in the shade. We also enjoyed fresh lemons from the tree at George's backyard. The views over the seaside and hills are great, our every snack & breakfast (or even a glass of Cretan wine) were outside with our feet in the pool and eyes watching the day start or the sun go down... Idyllic place that i am fully in love with.

The way to the closest beach (that is Lygaria beach) is short. Even going back up the hill was not a problem, even for my toddler! All 6 days he was marching up the road himself. The beach itself is lovely with turquoise water and not many people (at least in June), showers & lifeguard, quiet music in just a couple of little tavernas. By the way, the best musaka is in Anatoli Taverna!

There is no need to go to Agia Pelagia village for supermarket as it doesn't really offer more than a little store on Lygaria beach. All yogurts, cheeses, cold cuts, fruit & veggies, juices and even fresh bread are available here. The "big supermarket" has same assortment - save your time & skip it.

George was easy to reach, smooth to deal with. He is a very friendly and caring person - knowing that i was on holidays alone with a toddler he was checking up by messages with us every day to see if we were ok. That was very nice of him. Besides, the fact that George picks his guests up at the airport and sees them off at no extra charge is a big bonus and, of course, is extremely convenient.

Overall: I DO RECOMMEND GEORGE'S PLACE!! And we will definitely be back again.
