Rira was a lovely host, meeting us at the square to escort us to the parking area near the apartment and helping to carry our luggage. Rira also provided water, wine, breakfast jams, bread, biscuits, yoghurt, fruit juice and raki which was greatly appreciated as we arrived late after a big day in Heraklion. The apartment is in a group of apartments, with quite a few steps up and down which is a little difficult with big suitcases! Also about 100 steps down to the town, but once down you are 5 mins from the main square and seaside restaurants, and 10 mins to a lovely beach! The apartment is nicely decorated, small but has all you need and a nice litle patio with a view over Elounda harbour. On our last day we went to the restaurant recommened by Rira, Ferryman and had a delicious lunch. The only negative is that the bathroom has an open shower which causes water to spill over so you need to mop up after each shower!
