Villa Alysso was the perfect spot for our pandemic getaway. Out of the way with all the facilities we required. Accommodated our family of four perfectly. The shared pool (which we actually had exclusive use of for the duration) was perfect for us and the views across Souda bay are spectacular. Locally Aptera has a couple of great tavernas where the food was amazing and great value as well. There is also a small shop that has all the basics and a bit more. Nearby Ancient Aptera is a fascinating archaeological site and Kalyves is a little beach paradise with more great places to eat.
