Fascinating place! For those whose are looking for being by themselves, recharging their batteries, escaping from busy cities and enjoying all the beauty of Crete with its mountain roads and rocky landscape, traditional villages, open-hearted people, night sky and magical goat bells! Perfect for stargazing!
Antonia is such a nice host, we arrived late in the evening and the supermarket was closed. So she welcomed us with wine, fruit and eggs from her house, so that we could have breakfast in the morning. The apartment has everything you need, even some nice things like coffee and olive oil, napkins and shampoo. Everything is beautifully-furnished and modern. The rooms are rather large, so there is enough space for everything. We really liked having breakfasts and some wine in the evenings outside. There is a cozy table and a big umbrella. Even if you have neighbors, it doesn't feel like your are not alone. The territory is beautiful and has lots of cozy things like benches, trees, flowers, tables and chairs. In the village Anopolis there are some supermarkets and a bakery. And for those who eat out late, there is a great tavern on the main square of the village which is Platanos. They serve great dinners, rather cheap.
Living in Madares Apartments was a really special part of our 2-week-trip! We travel a lot, but for me it was the best place I'd ever lived before! I really fell in love with Anopolis and as I promised I will definitely come back again!
