We couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome to Crete, or Greece in general. Antonia was absolutely lovely, greeting us with hugs, beautiful food and drinks and giving us a lift into town as well. It was like visiting a favourite relative you didn't know you had! The apartment is small and perfectly formed, tastefully decorated and pristine with a small section with a table outside. Gazi is ideal if you don't want to stay in town and the beach is large and lovely, with a main road just behind providing anything you would need. The area is a lot less 'package deal' than Gouves and we'd definitely stay again as a great intro into Crete, coupling the rural feel (olive trees, quieter roads) and being a stone's throw away from Heraklion. Thank you so much Antonia. You were just wonderful xxx
