In terms of location and hosts this apartment is quite a treat! We - a family with two boys (4/6) - had a wonderful stay there. The location can’t be beat: Spacious premises with lots of possibilities for the kids to play while (ours is a rather rough bunch) the parents can keep an eye on them from the veranda situated slightly above the rest of the area. The most terrific thing though is the semi-private beach accessible via a couple of stone steps just about 50 metres from the apartment. It’s a nice, sandy beach used apparently only by the odd local.
The hosts living in the apartment below - Eva and Nikos, Milena‘s parents - are the real gems of the place: amicable, considerate, generous, helpful, kindhearted. Upon arrival the place was stacked with some edibles mostly from their own produce and making. They helped us with a couple of very useful suggestions on what to do in the area and Eva even arranged an appointment at her hairdresser for us.
The place is nicely situated between Myrtos and Ierapetra and serves as a good starting point to explore the area. Here‘s a few things we enjoyed particularly: Dragon’s Cave Beach, Agia Fotini, Tertsa Beach and its tavern, Sarakinas gorge.
Communication with Melina was easy, friendly and prompt. Thank you for a great time and your exceptional hospitality! We would stay here again without hesitation.
