George was a terrific host. We would absolutely recommend this apartment and the overall apartment complex.
The complex is made up of five or six different apartments, which share a pool, laundry room, barbecue, and small fitness room. While we were there, we met other guests from around the world (Germany, Belgium, the U.S., and Tasmania) whose stays overlapped with our own.
The view from the complex is breathtaking, the pool and the apartment were clean and well kept. We enjoyed reading by the pool and eating breakfasts on the patio overlooking the sea.
All of the other guests had rental cars when they arrived and did various day trips around Crete. We personally enjoyed staying local and walked to restaurants, the two nearby beaches, and super markets. Everything you need is within walking distance, but the hike back up the hill to the apartment can be rather vigorous. If you don't mind staying nearby and getting a bit of exercise, you can get by without a car.
George cares deeply about his guests' experience. He stopped by the complex every morning to make sure we had what we needed and to offer suggestions on things to see and do around Crete. When we decided to rent a car part way through our stay to see a bit more of the island, George arranged for the rental car to be delivered to us, which was very helpful.
Lygaria beach is the closest, being just down the hill. It is smaller and less crowded than the Agia Pelagia beach and has a few good restaurants. Sirocco was our favorite. We ended up eating there several times during our stay.
