My friend and I stayed in Pegasos Maisonettes for 4-nights and absolutely loved our stay there! When planning our trip to Crete, we debated whether we should stay in Rethymnon or Chania, as we did not have much time here and thought we should stay in the heart of one of these locations to optimize our time there. Through research here on airbnb, I came across Almyrida (and the neighboring town Kalyves), and from other reviews it seems to be a simple drive to Chania and Rethymnon, but also slightly remote for a nice relaxing vacation away from the house of these two larger places. We are SO glad we stayed in Almyrida. It's such a fun little sea town, with an incredibly cute and quaint beachfront with many fun shops and restaurants. We quickly fell in love with Francois - and went there everyday for their breakfast. Elia and Thyme and Lagos Tavern were lovely places for dinner. The drive to Chania was a simple 20 minute drive, and we felt we can go there on a whim anytime we wanted. However, we ended up going only once, because we loved Almyrida that much. We did the walk to Kalyves one day which was fun, but were so happy to come back to Pegasos Maisonettes. It became our home away from home very quickly and we always wanted to come back there after 3-4 hours of being away. It's very clean with beautiful views up on a hillside. The walk down to town is SO incredibly easy (maybe 5 minutes) and it's actually fun to take that walk to see the other studios and local homes. Not to mention the very cute (stray and clean) cats all around. Did I mention the views of the mountains? Absolutely breathtaking! My friend and I sat but the gorgeous pool but never ended up using it because we were so busy doing other fun things, but it is as great as the pictures suggest. The washing machine is a plus as well (no need to hand wash here!) I already know I want to come to Crete again. I now know I am a pretty good driver in Crete as well and can navigate where needed from Almyrida. I will not hesitate to stay at Pegasos Maisonettes again and will certainly recommend it to my friends and my family. Stay here - you will enjoy it!
