Artemis' spot is pure gold. We stayed there for seven blissful days. Our favourite place was our stylish apartment's lovely verandah where we drank Crete's delicious wines, stared out over the ocean, enjoyed spectacular sunsets and watched the kids play on the private beach.
While we explored Crete throughly with our rental, we also enjoyed just relaxing at our apartment, and loved that it was away from most tourist spots, but still surrounded by two close and great tavernas. We made good use of the kitchen and learned how to brew real Greek coffee on the stove.
Artemis' place is also central enough so that we could visit Knossos' palace, Balos Beach and Loutro - all about an hour's drive in opposite directions.
The shower was a real treat and hit the spot to wash the beach away.
If only we could've stayed longer. The apartment is highly recommended for those who want to get away from the tourist masses and enjoy some seclusion at a private beach.
