We had such a nice time at this villa. Andreas was helping us with every question we had. The day of arriving was perfect! Andreas welcomed us with some sweets from a local bakery. It was so delicious! :-)
The communication was excellent during the whole stay. And the villa is amazing! The house is new and everything is just like on the fotos. We were 4 persons, so everyone had his own room. Sometimes we spent the whole forenoon at the pool area. The pool is big, cleand and just amazing! :-) Everything is private and calm and at the night there are lights all around the whole outside area and also so pool is lighted.
There is a big table tennis table and Andreas even arranged some more paddles for us. :-)
The village is small and you'll have everything you need. Nice restaurants, a supermarked and everyone is really nice and friendly. We loved eating at "Κρητική κουζίνα μουρέλο" which was a recommendation from Andreas. :-)
As others have already mentioned you can drive by car from Heraklion airport in only 15min. The streets are easy to drive and even at night there is no problem. The streets are great in general. Everything you might want to see is reachable from around 1-2h drive.
For the beach we'd recommend the Karteros Beach, which is is around 11min away by car. Here you can see a really nice sunset and you can watch the airplanes starting and landing. No worries, the sound is not disturbing! :-)
We also got to knew the owners Fotis and Maria and it was a real pleasure! Fotis regualry came to maintain the pool and left us some gifts from the own garden. Also Raki and eggs. One evening Maria and Fotis invited us to a local store for some food and Raki. We enjoyed it a lot! Even when we left we got some prensents from the owners. Olive oil, raisins, Raki - thank you!
Thank you so much for having us! We'd recommend this house to everyone who wants to have a nice and calm stay away from the typical touristic areas in a beautiful house.
And who wouldn't want to have a nice private pool? ;-)
