We were not disappointed when we arrived at the apartments. They were all we had hoped for. Beautiful gardens set in an olive grove. A good parking area and a lovely patio area. The apartment was on the first floor and was spacious and well equipped. It was spotlessly clean and had a vase of fresh flowers on the table. There was a beautiful view from the front balcony across the bay. Although the apartment was not far from the main road, traffic noise was not intrusive. The beds were very comfortable with nice crisp white cotton sheets. There are a good selection of shops and tavernas in the town and two beaches within easy walking distance. Istro is a good base for exploring eastern Crete and Agios Nikolaos which is a lovely town is only a few kilometres away. We had a very enjoyable week here and were made most welcome by our host.
