The beach is a few steps away from the apartment and the area has many nice fish restaurants, of which I can highly recommend Agistri Fish Tavern.
The famous Lighthouse is 15 mins away on the beach promenade and everything is quite close by.
Alexandra is a great host, she welcomed us with local fruits and drinks. We were coming back from my sister's wedding in Rethymno and had an unexpected guest for a night but Alexandra was very kind and didn't extra charge us.
We had a wonderful stay in Alexandra's place, and hope to come back net year again!
