The Apartment hosted by Chara and Nikos is one if a kind. We stayed in Kissamos for 4 nights and it was perfect pitstop for all our road trips to Balos beach, Samaria Gorge, Elafonisi beach and other sightseeing areas in the west creta. Firstly regarding the apartment:
It was very clean and perfect for a couple.
Bed was really comfortable.
The bathroom was super clean with necessary toiletries
The apartment has full kitchen in the terrace that gives you feeling as if you are in a cookery show. :). The kitchen had all basic herbs, oils utensils, cleaning agents.
There is also a washing machine.
The building has a lift to second floor and you need to climb a small flight of stairs to the apartment
The location of the apartment was ideal for doing road trips in and around western creta.
There are 2 supermarkets beside the building
The city centre is just few min walk from the apartment and had good restaurants that offered all three meals if the day
The public bus station of KTEL is just behind the building which might be useful for people who use public transport to explore creta.
Highlight : The apartment had refreshing views to the sea and the open kitchen was so fabulous that we enjoyed cooking breakfast while enjoying the views and relishing our meals .
Secondly about the host Chara:
She was very responsive and was always friendly and accommodating.
She also provided us with good recommendations for travel, restaurants etc.
She also provided us with beach towels that we may use during our beach visits.
Finally we liked the Raki and fruits that she had kept for us as a welcome gift
We really liked the apartment, felt at home due to the friendly abd caring nature of Chara and would love to stay here the next time we visit Crete.
